In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

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.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

This is written as a static display, but can easily become a hands-on experiment for learners.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this activity, learners can observe chaotic motion. A magnet tied to a piece of string makes a pendulum, which swings over three sets of fixed magnets.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.
