In 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.

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 watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

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.

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.

In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta, explorando el salón, y usando su creatividad.

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

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

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 activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

How far can you see out of the corner of your eye? Grab a partner and find out from the Exploratorium Science Snack.

In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.
