Balloon Nanotubes Tabletop
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.
Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.
Rubber Band newton Scale
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).
Build A Hydrometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.
Echolocation Lab
Source Institutions
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.
Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
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.
Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.
Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
Exploring Tools: Mitten Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.
Ice Roads: Steiner Trees
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.
Breaking the Code: Mayan Math
Source Institutions
This is a lesson plan for an activity in which learners, playing the role of archeologists, use math concepts about number bases to decipher the Dresden Codex, an ancient Mayan document.
Size Wheel
Source Institutions
In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).
Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.
Sand, Plants and Pants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
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).
Oil Spot Photometer
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
Exploring the Universe: Star Formation
Source Institutions
In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.
Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
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.
Sizing Up the Universe
Source Institutions
In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.
