This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

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.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

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 explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

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.

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

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).
