In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

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

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
