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 their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.
