In this game, learners each represent a different organism in an environment. They build a web during the activity, and discover how all the players in an ecosystem depend on each other.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

While playing a game, learners discover how the Endangered Species Act works in the United States. Learners move along a game board by answering questions correctly.

Ivy Rutzky, a scientific assistant at the American Museum of Natural History, introduces an activity where learners create a scientific illustration of a monarch butterfly.

In this activity, Christina Elson, an archaeologist from the American Museum of Natural History, guides learners as they investigate an "artifact" and record their observations in a field journal.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
