Wet Art
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

Salt Painting
Source Institutions
In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.

Roller Ball Painting
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

Spherical Reflections
Source Institutions
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.

Tie Dye Painting
Source Institutions
This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

Make a Mobile!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

Sunny Day Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Light is Made of Colors
Source Institutions
Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

Ramp Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will dip different items in paint and then roll those items down a ramp. Learners will use science process skills such as observations and experimenting.

Bubble Wrap Printing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use bubble wrap to print patterns on paper and experiment with mixing colors.

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.

Sound Dampeners
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

Liquid Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concepts of density and basic chemical reactions as they create a homemade lava lamp effect using water, oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets.

Pixel Tube
Source Institutions
In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

What is Nanotechnology?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.
Parachute Design
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

Chemistry Is Colorful
Source Institutions
In "Chemistry is Colorful" learners explore different materials through paper chromatography.

Tune Booster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

Glitter Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

How Many Pennies?
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.
