In this activity, learners explore how objects can have positive, negative, or neutral charges, which attract, repel and move between objects.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

Get a roll of pennies, throw them on the ground, then remove those that only show tails, and repeat with the ones left over.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this quick activity, learners drink Avogadro's number worth of molecules - 6.02x10^23 molecules!

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.
