By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can have a tactile opportunity to construct a karyotype, an organized model of an organism’s chromosomes, conveying the chromos

In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

In this online game, learners test their knowledge of human anatomy.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity, learners calculate the width (horizontal diameter) of the blind spot on their retina. Learners make a blind spot tester using a piece of notebook paper.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

“Exploring the Universe: Orbiting Objects” is a hands-on activity that invites visitors to experiment with different sized and weighted balls on a stretchy fabric gravity well.

In this activity, learners examine raindrop bottles (prepared ahead of time) to observe in slow motion the behavior of falling droplets and explore concepts such as drag and terminal velocity.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners use a straight line to learn about circles. Learners measure and record the diameter and circumference of different sized cylindrical objects on a chart.
