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.
Inkjet Printer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.
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.
Stiff Bones, Bendy Bones
Source Institutions
Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.
Water Underground
Source Institutions
Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.
Cactus Needle Phonograph
Source Institutions
Build a phonograph record player using a cactus needle, a record, LEGOs gear box, and a piece of paper! This activity uses a Pico Cricket to turn the motor.
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.
Build A Battery
Source Institutions
The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w
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).
Make Your Own Telescope
Source Institutions
Discover how a refracting telescope works by making one from scratch using common items. This telescope won't have a tube so the learner can see how an image is formed inside the telescope.
Make a Lake
Source Institutions
Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?
Exploring Fabrication: Gummy Capsules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.
Exploring Black Holes and Gravity
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
Molecule Match
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.
