In this health activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of handwashing as a factor in reducing the spread of pathogens.

In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

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 (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

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 will create their very own constellation.

In this online activity, learners test their ability to hear different frequencies and compare their frequency range with the frequency range of other animals and insects.

In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Make a camouflage cut-out animal! Using patterned paper or magazine pictures from around the house, use your craft skills to make a paper animal that blends into its background.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.
