In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this activity, learners will explore light with reflective surfaces. Learners will make predictions and share their observations as they experiment with directing a beam of light.

Create a simple dual pendulum and get them to swing in identical ways. This is a simple, low cost, activity produced by the Exploratorium.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

In this activity, learners cut out 5 paper cards and label them with 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 dot(s) to explore binary digits.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

This is an online exhibit about color perception. Learners set a random background color and then try to mix red, blue, and green light to match.
