Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
Nano Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.
Safe in the Sun
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.
Build a Giant Puzzle!

Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).
Sand, Plants and Pants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.
Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape Through Nanomolding
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
I Spy Nano!
Source Institutions
In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.
