In this activity, learners discover that atoms and ions of different metals will change places.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (fourth activity on the page). One learner stands behind a see-through barrier like a window or wire screen.

In this demonstration (18th on the page), learners conduct a simple test to explore how the cornea refracts light, which is further bent by the eye lens through a process known as accommodation.

In this quick activity/demonstration (5th on the page), learners explore depth perception.

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

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

Learners write their initials by applying different clear "magic ink" solutions to separate pieces of paper and then "develop" the inks with other clear solutions.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this demonstration, learners observe as two cola bottles and a dollar bill are arranged in a specific order: one bottle, upside down and filled with water, is placed on top of another bottle, with

In this activity, learners investigate vitamin C.

In this activity, learners electrically plate zinc onto brass objects.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

A simple, yet fun activity that lets learners find the center of balance of a ruler (or any long thin object). Developed by the Exploratorium and no assembly needed.
