In this physics activity, learners experiment with the attractive and repulsive power of magnets.

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

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon

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, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

In this activity, learners will explore how different colors of lights interact with objects around them. Will a blue object stay blue with a red filter?

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 demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

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 activity, learners design and build a toy top out of simple, everyday materials and have the option to use the toy as an artistic tool.

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.

In this simple game, learners start to understand how to sort and categorize objects by trying to guess the connection between three items that someone else has chosen.

In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

This assortment of mathematical games can be played while traveling.

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.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.
