This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

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

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
