In this fun math activity (page 5 of the pdf), learners will help a secret agent crack a case by solving math problems.

In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.

This is a web activity about simple machines. Learners will explore a lawn mower and identify six different simple machines which work together to help make our lives easier.

This online interactive has three activities in the NanoLab (press the upper right button): Build, Zoom, and Transform.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

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 outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

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