In this activity, learners identify different classes of matter based on physical properties.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

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

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

In this activity, learners explore acids and bases by preparing six solutions that combine vinegar and ammonia, ranging from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

In this activity, learners investigate vitamin C.

This display shows the dangers of acid rain on buildings and other structures as two concrete bunny rabbits are disintegrated by sulfuric acid. Learners scrape chalk onto the concrete bunnies.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.
