Fizzy Nano Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.
Modeling Limits to Cell Size
Source Institutions
This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.
Be a Scanning Probe Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano
Sniffing for a Billionth
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.
Hanging Around
Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.
Exploring at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
Gummy Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.
Sugar Crystal Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.
Gieant Sieve Sorter
Source Institutions
This Exploratorium activity explores size and scale. Through four levels of screen sizes, learners can sort out objects of different sizes.
