This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

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

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.

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

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity (p.24 of PDF), learners make paper with fungi. Learners discover that paper is basically a flat mat of fibers.

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

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this activity about electricity, learners identify parallel and series circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of complete circuits.

In this activity (page 11 of the PDF), learners investigate how quickly water moves through various materials. They measure and compare the permeability of gravel, sand, and soil.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will use milk and a few other basic ingredients to create a chemical change to make a color wheel.

In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.
