Remember when Ms. Frizzle shrunk her “Magic School Bus” to tour red blood cell superhighways and the rest of the human body? What if that was possible in real life? Journey into the minuscule with the latest traveling exhibit at the Grout Museum District in Waterloo, “Nano.” This mini exhibit introduces the biggest ideas in nanoscale science, engineering and technology. You’ll have the chance to get hands-on with interactive components that explain the basics of nanoscience and reveal real-world applications.

“Nano” was created by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network, with support from the National Science Foundation. You can see it through Dec. 11.
