Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
NISE NetworkAdd to list DetailsThis 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). Our sense of smell allows us to...
Exploring Materials: Graphene
NISE NetworkAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite. Learners use tape and graphite to make graphene and learn that graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in...
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
NISE NetworkAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls. Learners discover that electrostatic forces cause smaller balls to suspend in a tube,...
Exploring Forces: Gravity
NISE NetworkAdd to list DetailsIn this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup. They learn that size can affect the way materials like...
Kitchen Jamboree
Kohl Children's MuseumAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways. Using kitchen tools like pots and pans made out of various...

NISE NetworkAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized. Learners investigate the properties of ferrofluid and magnetic black sand and learn that the...
Color Draw
Children's Museum Of HoustonAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners use their understanding of probability to guess which color will be drawn from a bag.
Good Catch!
Children's Museum Of HoustonAdd to list DetailsIn this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.
Guess My Number
Children's Museum Of HoustonAdd to list DetailsIn this math activity, learners play a game similar to 20 Questions, in which learners must identify a secret number drawn from a bag. Learners practice their logical thinking and questioning...
