air

An exhibit that was part of the Nanotechnology: What's the Big Deal? exhibition that demonstrates how scientists are using the ability of molecules to self-assemble to create consumer goods with surprising properties.

In this activity, learners do an experiment that demonstrates some of the science concepts involved in keeping breathable air available on the International Space Station.

In this activity, learners experiment with putting various objects in a small vacuum chamber and explore how the materials behave and change when the air in the chamber is removed.

In this activity, learners use an air cannon toy to spin pinwheels to explore what makes up air.
