Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Microarrays and Stem Cells
Source Institutions
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

Vocal Visualizer
Source Institutions
With a bit of PVC, a laser, a can/cup, and a small mirror, you can make a device that visualizes you voice or any sound transmitted into the cup/can.

Build a Better Roof
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

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

Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

I Spy Nano!
Source Institutions
In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

Design a Seed
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

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

Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

Space Elevator
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

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 Size: Ball Sorter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

Build Your Own Marble Machine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a ball run contraption.

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

Planet Exploration Mission
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

Exploring Structures: DNA
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.
