In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

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

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

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

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
