In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

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 design challenge activity follow up to "Kicking Machine", learners add a hands-free feature to their Kicking Machine.

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in Canada goose populations using real data from the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count.

Learners make slime from white school glue and Borax detergent. The long chain molecules of the white glue become cross-linked by the Borax into a big network.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners explore alternative uses of a simple paper cup, dubbed a "mystery item." Learners act as detectives and explore the properties and functions of th

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

In this design challenge activity, learners design and build a circuit: an "electric highway" that connects a battery and buzzer at least three feet apart using four types of materials.

Learners build a can that automatically returns after being rolled away. The can has a rubber band inside that stores energy as the can rolls one direction.

Throw that fish back? A new generation of ethical anglers concerned about conserving resources is participating in "catch and release" fishing. How is this going?

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.
