In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

How far can you see out of the corner of your eye? Grab a partner and find out from the Exploratorium Science Snack.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners will participate in a scavenger hunt involving sizes, shapes, and numbers. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

In this activity, learners will create a soil profile in a bottle. They will learn about the organic and inorganic matter found in soil and observe as it separates into layers in the bottle.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore how what you see influences taste. In experiment 1, learners taste five sodas, one of which is clear soda with orange food coloring.

In this activity, learners combine two substances (plaster of Paris and water) to make a cast of an object's imprint in clay.

In this craft activity, learners will recognize, name, and compare the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 by constructing a penguin out of portions of paper circles.
