This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

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.
