This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

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).

This website contains several activities. Mixing in Math Moments are activities that take 5-10 minutes that keep learners occupied, learning about the world, and using math on their own.

Learners will determine their respiratory rate and explore the factors that affect breathing rate by filling out and using the Respiratory Chart provided in the lesson.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

Learners investigate why the Sun and Moon appear the same size in the sky even though the Sun is over 400 times larger in diameter.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

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.
