Measure Yourself in Nanometers

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.
