In this activity, learners find out why some mineral sunblock rubs in clear. Learners compare nano and non-nano sunblocks and discover how particle size affects visibility.

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

Learners experiment with a commercially available liquid-crystal coaster. They warm the material with their hands for varying lengths of time and observe the changing colors that result.

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

This activity/demo introduces learners to aerogel, a glass nanofoam. Learners discover how aerogel is made and how well it insulates as well as learn about aerogel's other unique properties.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.
