In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

This is an activity about center of gravity. Learners will balance a fork on a glass by finding its center of gravity.

Are fingers the only place on the body where we use our sense of touch? In this activity (6th activity on the page), learners test the touch sensitivity of different parts of the body.

“Exploring Earth: Bear’s Shadow” is a hands-on activity designed primarily for young visitors and their families. Participants move a flashlight around an object to make and experiment with shadows.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

In this activity, learners actually feel the difference in energy required to light two different types of light bulbs: incandescent light and LEDs.

Learners observe a bottle containing water and oil. They are invited to pick up the bottle and mix the contents together.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

Learners combine hydrogen peroxide with three different forms of potato: raw chunks, ground chunks, and boiled chunks.

In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.

In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.

In this activity, learners mix up a bubbly brew and examine density. Learners explore how they can make different materials fall and rise in water using oil, water, and salt.

In this math game, learners throw dice and place the numbers in one of four boxes. Learners repeat this three more times and the learner with the largest four digit numbers is the winner.

This simple and engaging astronomy activity explains nuclear fusion and how radiation is generated by stars, using marshmallows as a model.

Discover how sound travels and what materials make better sound conductors. Can you hear better with your fingers in your ears? Find out with a coat hanger and some string!

“Exploring the Solar System: Big Sun, Small Moon” is a hands-on activity that explores the concept of apparent size and allows visitors to experience this phenomena using familiar objects—a tennis bal

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.
