In this activity about light and reflection, learners use a special device called a Mirage Maker™ to create an illusion.

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

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 use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

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

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

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 use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.
