This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.

Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

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 activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

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.

Visitors use heat to shrink samples of polystyrene. They compare samples from containers that were shaped in different ways during manufacturing.

Visitors incrementally increase the amount of iodate in three different test tubes containing the same amount of a starch solution.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.
