In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

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

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners create secret messages using a candle. Learners discover that watercolor paint is attracted to some materials, like paper fibers, but not others, like oil.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
