In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

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