Exploring Products: Nano Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.
Salt 'n Lighter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.
Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this activity, explore chromatography and the various colors that make up the ink in markers. Use this activity to investigate cohesion and adhesion.
Atoms and Matter (K-2)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.
Draggin' Boats
Source Institutions
Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
Mystery Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.
Magic Sand: Nanosurfaces
Source Institutions
This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).
Exploring Products: Nano Fabrics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Pop Can "Hero Engine"
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.
Build An Aqueduct
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
Wax 'n Wash
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create secret messages using a candle. Learners discover that watercolor paint is attracted to some materials, like paper fibers, but not others, like oil.
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
