Exploring Products: Nano Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.
Do Your Own Dig
Source Institutions
In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.
Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.
Life Size: What's in a microbe?
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.
Membrane Permeability with Beets
Source Institutions
In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.
Black Holes: No Escape
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.
Invisible Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.
Magic Sand: Nanosurfaces
Source Institutions
This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).
What Cells Can I See in Muscle and Spinal Cord Tissues?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.
