In this online activity about anatomy, learners will correctly order the path blood takes through the heart in order to absorb oxygen to deliver to the rest of the body.

In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

In this demonstration, learners will be "wowed" as three matches burn to form a triangular pyramid shape and "magically" rise off the table.

In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.

In this chemistry activity, learners make a slimy non-Newtonian fluid called "Gluep." Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers and viscosity.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi

In this fun optics activity, learners explore principles of light, reflection (mirrors), and perception. Learners work in pairs and sit on opposite sides of a "two-way" mirror.

In this online activity, learners will brush up on their multiplication, division, and factoring skills with this exciting game.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore means of physically separating a mixture using dissolving, filtration, and evaporation.

Visitors mix urea with water in one flask and mix calcium chloride with water in another flask. They observe that the urea flask gets cold and the calcium chloride flask gets hot.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

Visitors mix water and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) in a large flask. They then add citric acid to the mixture and stopper the flask. The resulting reaction creates carbon dioxide gas.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.
