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.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners discover that the way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating an invention of the future.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In this activity, learners investigate just how small a billionth of a meter is by attempting to cut a paper ruler down to a nanometer-sized sliver.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners discover how a super-absorbing material can be used to move a straw.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.
