Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Is it a Fish?
Source Institutions
This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

What does Color have to do with Cooling?
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

¡Huellas Digitales!
Source Institutions
En esta actividad, los aprendices leen sobre como Mateo y Cientina conducen una investigación forense para descubrir quien llevó unos dulces.
What's in the Bag?
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Finger Reading
Source Institutions
In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

Chemical Breath
Source Institutions
This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

See the Colors in Leaves
Source Institutions
Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

Jump Start
Source Institutions
In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

Spicy Indicator: Use turmeric to test for bases in your home
Source Institutions
This activity uses turmeric, a common spice in curry, as an indicator for acidity and basicity. Turmeric is yellow in acid and neutral substances, but turns bright red with bases.

Model Well
Source Institutions
In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

An Object in Motion
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

Magnification vs. Resolution: Can you see the flag on the Moon?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

Polar Bear Glove
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

A Mole of Gas
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

Solubility Test
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply a dissolving test to known crystals to identify the unknown. Since the unknown is chemically the same as one of the known crystals, it should dissolve similarly.

Aluminum-Air Battery: Foiled again!
Source Institutions
Construct a simple battery that's able to power a small light or motor out of foil, salt water, and charcoal. A helpful video, produced by the Exploratorium, guides you along on this activity.
