In this chemistry activity, learners are asked to form a hypothesis about the behavior of milk as household detergents act upon it.

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a handkerchief holds water in an upside-down glass.

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

In this activity, learners explore the forces at work in water. Learners experiment to find out what happens to pepper in water when they touch it with bar soap and liquid detergent.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this demonstration, learners will be "wowed" as three matches burn to form a triangular pyramid shape and "magically" rise off the table.

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this chemistry activity, learners prepare two petri dishes, one filled with water and one filled with milk.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

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 demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon
