In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this activity, leaners build their very own rainsticks, an instrument filled with pebbles and seeds that create sounds like falling rain. Save costs by using material found around the home.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

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.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this activity, learners discover that some plastics will shrink when you get them hot. Learners bake polystyrene in a regular oven and discover what happens.

In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.
