In this activity about scale, learners investigate the world of the very small by cutting a 28 centimeter strip of paper in half as many times as they can.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

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

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 kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

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

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.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

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
