In this activity, learners examine how colored lenses act like filters and absorb all colors of light except for the color of the lenses.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

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

In this activity, learners explore their eye pupils and how they change.

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

Create gas with a glass of water, some wire, conductors and a battery! You will be separating water (H2O) into oxygen and hydrogen.

In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In this activity, learners draw natural objects to explore the details, differences, and similarities of natural objects.

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 optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

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

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

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
