In this activity, learners use Teflon (PTFE) tape to write secret messages.

In this activity, learners build a slide whistle using PVC pipe, bamboo skewer, and piece of foam. Construction of the instrument is relatively simple.

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

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

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 will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

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

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

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