This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

This magic trick is based on how computers detect and correct data errors.

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.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

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.
