In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.

In this activity, learners discover why some nanoscale science and technology is done in the controlled environment of a clean room, what clean rooms are like, and how scientists help keep the clean r

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 investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.
