In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this activity, learners make an optical illusion toy from the 1800s to explore persistence of vision.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this online activity, learners will explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement.

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

This is a simple activity for learners to create a traditional musical instrument. Pan Pipes have developed all over the world in different cultures, from South America to Greece and China.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

Our bodies defend themselves in many different ways to prevent us from getting sick.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.
