In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

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.

Learners can program a compass to draw a circle by itself using a Pico Cricket, some Legos, and lots of tape! Pico Cricket is required.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

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 math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

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