In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

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

Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.

In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

In this activity, learners design a crushing test and discover that identifying and controlling the variables may be difficult.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.
