Through a series of simple body movements, learners gain insight into the relationship between time and astronomical motions of Earth (rotation about its axis, and orbit around the Sun), and also abou

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

This trick from Exploratorium physicist Paul Doherty lets you add together the bounces of two balls and send one ball flying.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.
