In this activity, learners are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners set up a simple experiment to find out how sunscreen counteracts the effects of the sun.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity), learners will look for a relationship between skull size and body length among various dinosaurs.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.

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.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.

This is a quick and simple demonstration about reflexes (second activity on the page).

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

Learners add calcium chloride to a baking soda solution and observe an increase in temperature along with the production of a gas and a white precipitate. These are all signs of a chemical reaction.

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.
