Surface Area
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.
Exploring Materials: Liquid Crystals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.
Size and Scale: Probing and Predicting
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?
Liquid Crystals Interact with Light!
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.
Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.
Cutting it Down to Nano
Source Institutions
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.
