In this activity, learners use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope (SPM). They learn that SPMs are an example of a special tool that scientists use to work on the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

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 activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
