In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

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.

In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.

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.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

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.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple experiment to see how electrically charged things like plastic attract electrically neutral things like water.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this activity, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.
