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

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

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

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.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
