In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.

In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

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.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.

In this activity, learners explore the great pump in their chests--the human heart!

In this activity, learners play a matching game with their families to discover common inherited traits and traditions. Learners distinguish between inherited traits and learned traditions.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

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

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

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.
