Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

Play keep away from your cat by using a static charge to suspend a piece of tinsel in the air. This Exploratorium produced activity also features videos to help create and learn about this phenomenon.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.
