Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

This three-part activity consists of an activity that groups of learners develop themselves, a given procedure, and an optional demonstration.

Learners place an M&M candy in water and observe what happens. The sugar-and-color coating dissolves and spreads out in a circular pattern around the M&M.

During this activity, learners will make different versions of "ooze" using varied proportions of detergent and glue.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

“Exploring the Solar System: Ice Orbs” is a hands-on activity in which visitors investigate a frozen orb, trying to learn about objects hidden inside.

In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.
