Rolling Action Art
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.

Rhythm Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.

Crystal Stencil Stars
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

Shaving Cream Marbling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create beautiful greeting cards by marbling with shaving cream and food dye. They will explore the chemistry behind the art of marbling.

Let's Make Music
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own percussion instrument with recycled materials. Learners will explore design, fabrication, cause and effect and sound through this activity.

Clay Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Push Pull Painter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Watercolor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.

Kinetic Sculpture
Source Institutions
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.

Shape Stamping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

Bike Bling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

Self-Portrait Silhouettes: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

Metallophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

Pinball Wizard
Source Institutions

Micro Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

Action Figure
Source Institutions
In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

Night Lights
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

Soap Bubble Shapes
Source Institutions
Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

Kaleid-o-mania
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.

Recycling Paper
Source Institutions
In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.
