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 see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

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

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

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

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 this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

Make a quick and easy filter from household materials. A filter will catch any solids suspended in a liquid and filter them out. By using a filter, learners can discover amazing things.

In this activity (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.
