In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

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 discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

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

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.
