Shrinking Polymers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

Pages of a Forbidden Tome
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to produce weathered "antiqued" paper with burned edges. Learners first soak white paper in coffee and then apply a charring solution of ammonium chloride.

Patches the Cat: A Print-and-Build Paper Sculpture Kit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

Rainbow Film
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

DNA Jewelry Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

Balloon Nanotubes Tabletop
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

Exploring Materials: Nano Gold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

Making Music in Nature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.
