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 demonstration, learners discover that nanoparticles behave differently, in part because they have a high surface area to volume ratio.

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 discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

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

"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

In this collaborative storytelling activity, learners and caregivers develop a strong story about science and exploration.

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

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

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

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

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

"Sublimation Bubbles" allows learners to explore how some solid materials, such as dry ice, can phase change directly from their solid to gaseous form.

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