In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners use art supplies to build models of insects, both real or imagined.

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.

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

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

This activity is a fun way to show two stages in a Monarch butterfly's life cycle. Learners will create an optical illusion that can be flipped from caterpillar to butterfly.

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

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.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

In this optics activity, learners build an animation tool to make mini movies. When you spin a phenakistascope, the pictures move so quickly that your eyes and brain can't separate the images.

In this activity, learners explore light, color and rainbows by making their own rainbow glasses.

In this activity (on the left side of page 5, continued on the right side of page 4 of the PDF), learners make models of colorful butterflies.

In this simple and fun activity, learners discover the relationship between vibration and sound by making a squeaky toy instrument out of simple household materials.

In this nutrition activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will be split up into food groups (Fruit, Vegetable, Meat & Beans, Grain, and Dairy) and draw a picture of their favorite food from their g

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.
