In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this chemistry challenge, learners systematically investigate which combination of four solutions produces a deep red color.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).
