In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete
