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

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

Play keep away from your cat by using a static charge to suspend a piece of tinsel in the air. This Exploratorium produced activity also features videos to help create and learn about this phenomenon.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

Learn how to construct a light box by following simple figures and instructions. This guide includes tips on how to assemble a light box; related activities are featured in separate resources.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

Are there boxes, is this an illusion, or is this real life Q-bert? Illusions are always fun to build especially when you can build them.

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.

Make your own speaker with a magnet, wire, and paper cup! If you have a radio with a headphone plug and an old pair of headphones, this is a great tinkering activity.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall

Oboes's unique sound originates from the two small reeds a musician blows into. Make your own double reed instrument out of straw!

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to make hollandaise sauce. Learners discover how cooks use egg yolks to blend oil and water together into a smooth mix.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.
