In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

Learners add drops of four liquids (water, alcohol, salt water, and detergent solution) to different surfaces and observe the liquids' behavior.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.

In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.
