In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.

In this group activity, learners will explore the characteristics, functions and uniqueness of the mangrove tree.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

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

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 activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

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.

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

In this activity, learners will collect, dry and press seaweed over the course of four days in a similar way that artists/crafters press flowers.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.

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 activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this fun and interactive online exhibit, the straight lines of a tile wall appear to curve. The learner moves the rows of tiles and changes the color of the grout to achieve the intriguing effect.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.
