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

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

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

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

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

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.
