In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

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 investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.

Learners make self-assembled polymer spheres as a model for the lipid nanoparticles found in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
