Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
Invisible Sunblock
Source Institutions
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.
Exploring Size: Scented Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.
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.
Globe at Night
Source Institutions
In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.
Exploring Size: Measure Yourself
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.
Home Water Audit
Source Institutions
This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.
Rainbow Film
Source Institutions
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.
Honeycomb Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.
Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.
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 Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
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).
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.
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.
