What's So Special about Water: Surface Tension
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners play a game and conduct two simple experiments to explore water and surface tension. Learners will have fun discovering how water "sticks" together.
Building Molecules
Source Institutions
This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.
Volcano Baseball
Source Institutions
In this game, learners are volcanoes that must complete several steps to erupt. Starting at home plate, learners draw cards until they have enough points to move to first base.
String Thing
Source Institutions
String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Bouncing Balls
Source Institutions
When baseball was in its infancy, the ball had plenty of bounce. Today's baseball may not seem to have bounce to it at all; if you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back.
I Spy Nano!
