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

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity, learners discover that they can create a lens from a water drop. Learners test their lens by looking at words or pictures.

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 will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

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.

In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.
