In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

This puzzle provides an interesting context which challenges learners to apply their knowledge of the properties of numbers.

In this demonstration about force and motion, learners will explore the forces that affect a pendulum A simple model pendulum comprised of a ball and string demonstrates how pendulums work as well as

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.

In this math activity, challenge learners to make two equal rows from eight different paper strips. Learners can explore the many ways they can solve this problem.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners actually feel the difference in energy required to light two different types of light bulbs: incandescent light and LEDs.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.

In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.

In this math game, learners throw dice and place the numbers in one of four boxes. Learners repeat this three more times and the learner with the largest four digit numbers is the winner.

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.

“Exploring the Solar System: Pocket Solar System” is a hands-on activity in which visitors make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system.

Molecular gastronomy is the scientific study of food preparation. Learners use self-assembly techniques to create edible capsules of chocolate syrup (food grade ingredients are required).

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

This is an online activity about what would happen if we could travel at or near the speed of light.
