Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

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.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

This hands-on activity shows you how to make a shaker -- a small instrument with a big sound! Fill it with beads or even pennies for a cool sound.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

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

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

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).

In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

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

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.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

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.

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.
