"Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon" is an engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of graphene and graphite.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.

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

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

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

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

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.
