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

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

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

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

Combine la lógica y los números en este juego para todas las edades.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

Combine logic and numbers in this game for all ages. Players start with a 10x10 grid of the numbers 1 to 100. One person chooses a secret number and announces the range in which it falls.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

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