Be a Scanning Probe Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

What is a Nanometer?
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

Jell-O Model of Microfluidics
Source Institutions
This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

Size Wheel
Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

Source Institutions
In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

DNA the Easy Way
Source Institutions
This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
