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, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

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.

Can you deceive your eyes? When your eyes work normally, you see a nice 3 dimensional picture, but what happens when each eye sees something different?

In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.
