In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

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.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

If you had a long tube with a 5 millimeter wide slit, would you see the entire Golden Gate Bridge?

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

Which one of your eyes are dominant? Do they act independently or are they equally "in control?" This activity explores how your eyes work (or don't work) together.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.

In this optics activity, learners discover how they can make glass objects "disappear." Learners submerge glass objects like stirring rods into a beaker of Wesson™ oil to explore how the principles of

In this activity about light and refraction, learners discover how a lens creates an image that hangs in midair.

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!

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.
