In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners make prisms from gelatin. Learners then shine light through the prisms and discover what happens. This activity introduces learners to the idea of refraction.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.
