Exploring Products: Nano Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.
Subtractive Paint Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.
Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring Materials: Ferrofluid
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
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.
Create Your Own Decoupage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.
Magnification vs. Resolution: Can you see the flag on the Moon?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.
Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.
Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.
Exploring Size: Powers of Ten
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring Size: Memory Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.
Story Stones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.
Paper Sculptures
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.
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.
