In this activity, learners work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

In this activity, learners make flipbooks of drawings showing the progression of a Total Solar Eclipse.

Learners model the processes that formed some of Earth's largest mountain ranges: the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

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 "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.

In this activity, learners explore geometry and spatial relationships as they figure out how to arrange tables for a party.

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

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

In this math activity, learners make a set of fraction cards to play a game that will help relieve their fraction frustrations.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this math game (Page 6 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners examine the probability of rolling sums from 0 to 12 with two dice. The first player to reach the finish line is the winner.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.
