This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

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 build a "pneumatic trough," a laboratory apparatus used for collecting pure gas samples over water.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will test the pH of liquids like coffee, spit, and soap to determine whether each is acidic, basic, or neutral.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.
