In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

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.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

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

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

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

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.
