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

In this activity, learners use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope (SPM). They learn that SPMs are an example of a special tool that scientists use to work on the nanoscale.

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, 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 investigate just how small a billionth of a meter is by attempting to cut a paper ruler down to a nanometer-sized sliver.

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

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

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 mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

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.

Jugando a este juego, los chicos desarrollan habilidades en área, perímetro, múltiples, y factores. Tomen turnos para hacer rectángulos con 12 cuadrados en la cuadrícula.

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.

Los jugadores toman turnos para añadir figuras de tres cuadrados a la cuadrícula. Intenten encajar sus figuras en la cuadrícula de modo que bloquee al otro jugador.

Combine la lógica y los números en este juego para todas las edades.

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.
