In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

In this activity (on pages 4-5), learners make fake snow by adding water to the super-absorbant chemical from diapers, sodium polyacrylate.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

Visitors add drops of copper sulfate solution onto a steel nail. They observe the nail change color from silver to brown as the copper plates onto the nail.

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

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.
