In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

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.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
