This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this design challenge, leaners attempt to build a strong structure out of LEGO® bricks that can withstand a 4-foot drop.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.
