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

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 use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

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

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners explore in what ways the shape of the land and the pull of gravity influence how water moves over Earth.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.

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

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

“Exploring Earth: Bear’s Shadow” is a hands-on activity designed primarily for young visitors and their families. Participants move a flashlight around an object to make and experiment with shadows.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

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