In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

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.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
