In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

Play keep away from your cat by using a static charge to suspend a piece of tinsel in the air. This Exploratorium produced activity also features videos to help create and learn about this phenomenon.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

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

Learn how to construct a light box by following simple figures and instructions. This guide includes tips on how to assemble a light box; related activities are featured in separate resources.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

How far can you see out of the corner of your eye? Grab a partner and find out from the Exploratorium Science Snack.

Experience a spinning spiral...you won't be hypnotized, but you'll see what happens when you look away. It's like getting off a merry-go-round and everything keeps moving.

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

Are there boxes, is this an illusion, or is this real life Q-bert? Illusions are always fun to build especially when you can build them.

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

In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.
