This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

In this activity, learners mix several sugar solutions to investigate the property of density. Each sugar solution has a different density and color of the rainbow.

This is a simple activity for learners to create a traditional musical instrument. Pan Pipes have developed all over the world in different cultures, from South America to Greece and China.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how forensic investigators collect prints from a crime scene. Learners make hand impressions in damp sand and analyze the patterns they observe.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina descubren una sustancia nueva y extraña que se llama "Oobleck". En su experimento ven que Oobleck tiene propiedades de sólidos y líquidos.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

Our bodies defend themselves in many different ways to prevent us from getting sick.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.
