Ready, Set, Fizz!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

Invisible Ink
Source Institutions
In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

Rainbow Film
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

Loony Balloons

In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

The Mosquito/El Mosquito: Interactive Sound Game
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners test their ability to hear different frequencies and compare their frequency range with the frequency range of other animals and insects.

Magical Match
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners will be "wowed" as three matches burn to form a triangular pyramid shape and "magically" rise off the table.

Virus Lander
Source Institutions
Can you avoid the body's immune system and make someone sick? Play this online game in which you go inside a human body to explore how viruses attack cells in the body.

Make a Human Scale Ladder
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2) about fingerprint analysis, learners use graphite from a pencil and scotch tape to capture their fingerprints.

Gluep
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

Jumping Beans
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

Light and Sound
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

Olympic Track Meet
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

Moonlight Serenade
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

Draw Your Nervous System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.
