In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

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

In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

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

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

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

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.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a jointed figure that moves in a motion (something like jumping jacks) when a string is pulled.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about
