In this activity, learners discover how gelatin can be used as a medium for drug delivery. Learners create colored gelatin and then cut out pieces of the gelatin to simulate medicine (pills).

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

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

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

If you got a big graduated or clear cylinder, water, a pipe, and a tuning fork, you've got a sound learning opportunity! Learn about resonance with this Exploratorium Science Snack.

In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

En esta actividad sobre la exploración e investigación, los aprendices harán ventanas de burbujas.

This resource contains several mini-explorations using a slide projector as a light source to investigate light and the properties of images.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a convenient way for someone using crutches or a wheelchair to carry small personal items.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

Learners design their own experiment to determine which M&M color dissolves the fastest in water.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the path of light as it reflects off of mirrors and how this is used in telescopes.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

Is this activity concentrating on physical science, learners build their very own miniature hovercraft out of a paper cup. Using it, they can explore the concepts of friction and force.
