Tiny Solutions to Our Big Energy Problem
In this stage presentation, learners hear a brief overview of energy sources and our current energy crisis and discusses a variety of ways that nanotechnology can improve the situation.
Product
Inkjet Printer
In this activity, learners explore how liquids behave differently at the small scale by examining how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.
Product
Cutting It Down to Nano
In this activity, learners cut a small strip of paper in half as many times as they can to explore scale.
Product
Biobarcodes: Antibodies and nanosensors
In this activity, learns explore antibodies and a nanomedical technology called Biobarcodes by assembling a jigsaw puzzle model.
Product
Balloon Nanotubes (Giant Hanging Model)
In this activity, learners use a balloon model to observe how the carbon atoms are arranged in a carbon nanotube
Product
Surface Area demonstration
In this activity, leaners explore how high surface area to volume ratio causes materials to behave differently by unfolding paper cubes, dropping alka-seltzer in water, and turning potatoes black with iodine.

Wheel of the Future
In this stage presentation, learners are contestants in a game show that encourages them to discover facts about nanotechnology and consider the concerns people have for new field.
Product
Aerogel
In this activity, learners see and interact with the nanomaterial aerogel and discover its unique properties.
Product
The Electric Squeeze
In this activity, learners explore piezoelectricity by making electric sparks, looking at molecular models, and listening to cheesy music from a greeting card.
