In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.

In this activity, learners compare their own strength to ants through a series of physical tests.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

This game plays a dozen different sounds, altered to simulate what they would sound like if you had hearing loss.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

This activity is an investigation of static electricity. What happens when you get "static cling?" Basically, you pile up electrons on one thing, which attracts the protons in something else.

In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this activity learners will measure and manipulate flubber using different tools. Learners will explore volume and make observations about texture and shapes.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

“Exploring Earth: Bear’s Shadow” is a hands-on activity designed primarily for young visitors and their families. Participants move a flashlight around an object to make and experiment with shadows.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this craft activity, learners will compare and contrast the major functions of plants and animals.

In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

This guide features three related ramp explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: when placed on a ramp, some objects roll, others slide, and others stay put; the shape

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

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.
