"Exploring Materials - Graphene" is a hands-on activity in which visitors use tape and graphite to make graphene and test the conductivity of graphite. They learn that graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern. There are two versions of this activity, one that uses an LED to test the conductivity and one that uses a buzzer.
