In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

In this activity, learners will create beautiful greeting cards by marbling with shaving cream and food dye. They will explore the chemistry behind the art of marbling.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

It's difficult to see convection currents in any liquid that's undergoing a temperature change, but in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you can see the currents with the help of food coloring.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

Do grapes, yes the grapes from the grocery store, move in the presence of a very strong magnet?

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.
