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

Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

Tomb Mapping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

Exploring Tools: Mitten Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

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

What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

Eclipse: How can the little Moon hide the giant Sun?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

Try Your Hand at Nano
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Dinosaur Flesh and Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

Sizing Up the Universe
Source Institutions
In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.

Cutting it Down to Nano
Source Institutions
This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

Solar System on a Stick
Source Institutions
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.

Jump to Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

Earth Walk
Source Institutions
In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

Music and Sound
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

Personal Time Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.
