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 this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

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.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

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.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.
