Science Snacks – Activities from The Exploratorium

Hungry for fresh, exciting classroom activities, based on amazing scientific phenomena? Check out this great teacher’s resource from The Exploratorium, playfully called Science Snacks. 

Science Snacks are hands-on, teacher-tested classroom activities. They require only inexpensive, readily-available materials. The “recipes” for these activities come from The Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco, CA, featuring hundreds of hands-on exhibits.

The Science Snack website gives you:

• Easy-to-follow instructions and helpful hints
• Photos and/or videos
• Material lists
• Scientific explanations for the phenomena the students are exploring

You will also find answers to questions like:

• Why are they called “snacks” rather than activities?
• How long does it take to build a Science Snack?
• For what ages are Science Snacks appropriate?
• Where do I get the supplies to build a Science Snack?
• Do these Snacks address my local, state, or national science standards?

Satisfy your curiosity without ever getting full.
