In this activity, learners discover why some nanoscale science and technology is done in the controlled environment of a clean room, what clean rooms are like, and how scientists help keep the clean r

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

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

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

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.
