In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.

In this activity about light and reflection, learners use a special device called a Mirage Maker™ to create an illusion.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?
