In this astronomy activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will examine the effects of gravity on a person’s pulse and explore how gravity can differ from planet to planet.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

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.

To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

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

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

You may have tried to throw a curveball or a slider, or even a screwball, with an ordinary baseball and found it difficult to do.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

When baseball was in its infancy, the ball had plenty of bounce. Today's baseball may not seem to have bounce to it at all; if you drop a ball on the field it won't bounce back.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
