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

In this activity, educators can demonstrate how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

Learners experiment with a piece of Silly Putty® by stretching, bouncing, and snapping it. They then create flubber, a similar substance, by mixing diluted glue and a solution of sodium borate.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
