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. Learners can measure themselves using a printout of the nano ruler in the PDF, then compare that to standard measurements of themselves in inches or centimeters. This activity can be well combined with the "Measure Yourself" online activity also from the same resource. [Activity is publicly available through a web crawler capture on Archive.org.]
