Science Snacks are hands-on, teacher-tested activities that bring explorations of natural phenomena into the classroom and home. Many of our Snacks are bite-sized versions of Exploratorium exhibits. If you can't make it to the museum, check these activities out and learn how to reproduce them yourself.
