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

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners explore some of the properties of copper using a few common household ingredients.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore how saliva assists in the beginning of the digestive process.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity about magnetism (page 15 of the PDF), learners will explore how opposite and similar magnetic poles affect a swinging (pendulum) magnet.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, learners discover that liquid water can change states and freeze to become ice.

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.
