Hidden Color Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover what colors are in different markers, and may be surprised at the results.

Mini Zoetrope
Source Institutions
In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.

Homework, Hogwarts Style
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.

Nature Drawing
Source Institutions
In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

Plankton Races
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

Subtractive Paint Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Opti-Top
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

Tactile Mazes
Source Institutions
In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

Our Sense of Sight: Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

Castle Basics
Source Institutions
In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

Engineering Parachutes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

Paper Animals
Source Institutions
This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

Eclipse Flipbook

Build A Dinosaur Nest
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

Lava Lamp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

Nebula in a Jar
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.

Familiar Fossils
In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

Bubble Cups
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.
