In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

Design and create an optical illusion toy that makes two pictures appear to become one. This is called a thaumatrope and will allow the learner to investigate the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

Learn about dyes and mordants (fixatives) when you tie-dye fabric with Kool-Aid™ and vinegar. The colored molecules in Kool-Aid™ form a chemical bond between the fiber and dye molecules.

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

In this activity, learners explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

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

In this activity, learners cut out a fish and then "paint" it using universal indicator and acids and bases.

Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

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

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

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

Learners write a message in Braille using beans to form the patterns of dots. Learners glue beans in place, and then challenge another learner to read the message.

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.
