In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.

With a coffee filter, a black marker, and a cup of water, discover the secret colors hidden in black ink.

Learners use a mortar and pestle to extract clove oil from cloves using denatured alcohol. They put this oil on paper, which they can take home.

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

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.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Challenge popular misconceptions, learners explore how a mirror actually reflects an image in this activity.

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

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

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.
