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

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, young learners investigate magnets. Learners discover that some magnets are stronger than others and that magnets have north and south poles.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

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

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

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

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

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

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.
