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 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

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

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

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 design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

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.
