This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

This is an activity in which learners create magic wands from a variety of materials making their choices by considering what kind of magic they want to make.

In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.
