Help your child recognize that things move at the nano level. Begin with your child picking out 2 or 3 cups, then pouring water into the cups, folding paper towels, and picking 2 or 3 food colors to drip into the cups.  Wait and watch as the water ‘walks’ across the paper towel from one cup to the other.
