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

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

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

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

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

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

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

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.
