In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

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.

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.
