Fizzy Nano Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

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

Scaling Cubes
Source Institutions
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.
Light on Other Planets
Source Institutions
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

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

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

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.

Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

Cylinders and Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

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

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.

Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.
