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

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

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.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this activity, learners will experiment with salt and ice in order to turn a bag of ingredients into ice cream.

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

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.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own banjo out of a coffee can. Learners experiment with the canjo to change the instrument's pitch and timbre.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

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.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

This activity encourages visitors to build an electroscope—a simplified version of one of the tools scientists use to study the invisible forces on Earth and in space.
