In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

In this activity (page 32 of PDF), learners investigate the nutritional needs of healthy bones and muscles.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.

In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.

Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.
