Fizzy Nano Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
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 .
Life Size: What's in a microbe?
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.
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.
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.
The Right Fit
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.
Exploring Measurement
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?
More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.
Caterpillar Measure
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.
Life Size: Line 'em up!
Source Institutions
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.
Make a Dinosaur
Source Institutions
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.
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.
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.
