In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

"Molecules in Motion" explores how materials behave and change in a vacuum.

"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.

“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 use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
