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

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

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
