Short Activities
Short activities are brief hands-on experiences lasting less than 15 minutes for small groups of people.
They are often presented at a table, cart, or demonstration space in a variety of settings such as a museum exhibit gallery, classroom, or other public or group setting. Multiple short activities can be combined to form a longer activity.
Macro, Micro and Nano Memory card game
In this activity, learners play a memory game to explore the macroscale, microscale and nanoscale through representative objects.
