In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this activity (14th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners examine if it is easier or harder to identify an object if they move their hands over it.

“Exploring the Universe: Imagining Life” is a hands-on activity in which visitors imagine and draw an extreme environment beyond Earth, then invent a living thing that could thrive in it.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.

Create an instrument that you don't play--you just listen to it through tubes of various lengths.

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

Create your own spinning top, and explore color, shapes and spinning. This activity contains instructions for making your spinning top, and tips on how to design and decorate it.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.

In this activities, learners head outside and investigate trees through bark rubbings. Learners will need paper, a pencil, and some unwrapped crayons to create them.

In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

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