In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this online activity, learners make a whole rainbow by mixing red, green, and blue light. They can change the wavelength of a monochromatic beam or they can filter white light.

In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

Why does milk make some people sick? In this activity learners explore this question and explore the chemistry of milk, and our bodies!

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

Visitors incrementally increase the amount of iodate in three different test tubes containing the same amount of a starch solution.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!
