In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this two-day activity (on pages 16-22), learners use a process like that of the Yoruba people of Nigeria to create an African symbol on cloth.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

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 activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

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

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
