This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

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

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.

In this activity, learners control the (apparent) size of a hole with their brain.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.
