In this demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

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

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.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.

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.
