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

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

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 math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

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.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.
