Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

Make a Cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

Waterhouse Hawkins and the Nano Dinosphere Museum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

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

Exploring the Universe: Nebula Spin Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

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

Out of Control
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

Exploring the Universe: Star Formation
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
Butterflies in Space
Source Institutions
The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

For the Birds
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

Exploring Earth: Temperature Mapping
Source Institutions
This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

Find Your Pack
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to wolf behavior and communication.

Sublimation Bubbles
Source Institutions
"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.

What's in the Water
Source Institutions
"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

Paper Whites
Source Institutions
Learners observe different paper samples under ordinary room light and under a black light to learn some of the chemical differences between different types of paper.
