In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

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

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

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

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

Using yeast, sugar, and water, learners create a chemical reaction which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas inside a 2-liter bottle. They use this gas to inflate a balloon.
