In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Balance a ball in the air with a hair dryer! This Exploratorium produced activity shows learners concepts like lift and air streams. You can try many different angles, speeds, and ball types.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In this activity, learners take apart a used zinc-carbon dry cell battery.

In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.
