Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Structures at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

Chemistry in the Kitchen
Source Institutions
In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

Crystal Packin' Mama
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

Mystery Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.
Periodic Pegboard
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

Curie Point
Source Institutions
In this activity best suited as a demonstration, learners observe that when a piece of iron gets too hot, it loses its ability to be magnetized.

Having a Gas with Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple electrolysis device. With this device, learners can decompose water into its elemental components: hydrogen and oxygen gas.
