Exploring Materials: Nano Gold
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that nanoparticles of gold can appear red, orange or even blue. They learn that a material can act differently when it’s nanometer-sized.
Exploring Materials: Liquid Crystals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.
Exploring Materials: Hydrogel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.
Exploring Products: Nano Fabrics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.
Exploring Properties: Surface Area
Source Institutions
This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.
Exploring Fabrication: Self-Assembly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.
Exploring Size: Ball Sorter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.
Exploring Structures: Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.
I Spy Nano!
Source Institutions
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.
