In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

Learners discover how important their thumbs are by attempting various tasks without them. After tying up their thumbs, learners attempt to legibly write their names or play catch with a tennis ball.

In this activity, learners investigate the effect of heat on a reaction.

This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.

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 math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!
