In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.

In this craft activity, learners will compare and contrast the major functions of plants and animals.

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

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.

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 nutrition activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will be split up into food groups (Fruit, Vegetable, Meat & Beans, Grain, and Dairy) and draw a picture of their favorite food from their g

In this matching activity, learners play a game where they match words to the corresponding body parts of an antelope's basic anatomy.

In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

Learners practice their taxonomy skills by sorting a group of fasteners (e.g. rubber bands, buttons, paper clips, screws) into different categories.
