In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Create a “Find Someone” list, with about 10 items, each containing a shape, number, or measurement. Can you find someone in the group with hair about 4 inches long? Someone wearing parallel lines?

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

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

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.
