This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
