In this activity, learners will swirl paint into shaving cream to make an extravagant nebula print.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

In this activity (pages 5-7), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

This Exploratorium activity can be used in many contexts because geysers are great opportunities for learning about heat and temperature changes as well as geological/space science phenomena.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

In this activity, learners will explore how their own eyes work by experimenting with their photoreceptors.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

En esta actividad, Mateo y Cientina descubren una sustancia nueva y extraña que se llama "Oobleck". En su experimento ven que Oobleck tiene propiedades de sólidos y líquidos.

In this activity, learners will build an air cannon out of simple materials you can find around the house. Although air is invisible to the eye, it is not by any means empty space!

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this physics activity, learners experiment with soap bubbles to see what variables affect their size. They explore how soap film and bubbles always seek the smallest surface area possible.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct an experiment to get an idea of how cheese is made.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this introductory activity and demonstration, learners are introduced to the concept that different substances react chemically in characteristic ways.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity describes techniques scientists use to find planets orbiting other stars.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.
