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

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

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

Visitors incrementally increase the amount of iodate in three different test tubes containing the same amount of a starch solution.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA from a virus called Bacteriophage λ, a process known as restriction digestion.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

In this activity, learners use microarray technology to determine which genes are turned on and off at various points in the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells on their way to becoming pancreat

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.
