In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

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 will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

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

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

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

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.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners explore the relative efficiency of different bulbs, specifically incandescent vs. fluorescent.

In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

In this activity, learners build a tiny but powerful flashlight out of simple materials. Use this activity to introduce learners to electrical circuits and conductivity.
