In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

After learning that some of the chemicals we add to food crops may have harmful consequences on our health and the health of the environment, learners will create a pocket-sized card with their favori

In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

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.

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

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.
