In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

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 about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

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.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

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

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

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

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

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, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

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

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

In this activity, learners play a trick on their own brain to see if the brain can learn to ignore distracting input. Colors and words are used to play the visual trick, known as a Stroop Test.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).
