Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

This game for one to four players uses a deck of cards to develop mental addition skills.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this simple game, learners start to understand how to sort and categorize objects by trying to guess the connection between three items that someone else has chosen.
