This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Bone Regrowth Activity) about the two main components of bone - collagen and minerals (like calcium) - and how they each contribute to its flexibility a

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This Exploratorium activity explores size and scale. Through four levels of screen sizes, learners can sort out objects of different sizes.
