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

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

In this activity, learners take apart a used zinc-carbon dry cell battery.

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Learners experiment with a piece of Silly Putty® by stretching, bouncing, and snapping it. They then create flubber, a similar substance, by mixing diluted glue and a solution of sodium borate.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
