The Exploratorium

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

We don't normally view people upside down and so our brains aren't accustomed to it.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, leaners build their very own rainsticks, an instrument filled with pebbles and seeds that create sounds like falling rain. Save costs by using material found around the home.

Get a roll of pennies, throw them on the ground, then remove those that only show tails, and repeat with the ones left over.
