In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

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.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners will explore the chemistry of cooking. They will learn about--and observe--the Maillard Reaction as they make their own browned butter.

In this activity, learners explore materials through paper chromatography.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

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 activity, learners will experiment with salt and ice in order to turn a bag of ingredients into ice cream.
