Tiny Tubes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.
Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.
Mystery Sand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play with surprising sand that doesn’t get wet! Learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "magic sand" and regular sand.
Invisible Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.
Magic Sand: Nanosurfaces
Source Institutions
This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).
Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Balloon Nanotubes Tabletop
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.
Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
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.
