Perspectives: Powers of 10
Source Institutions
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.
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
Construction and Destruction
Source Institutions
In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.
Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.
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.
Size Wheel
Source Institutions
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).
Skewers and Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.
