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

In this activity, learners discover why some nanoscale science and technology is done in the controlled environment of a clean room, what clean rooms are like, and how scientists help keep the clean r

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

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

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.
