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

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, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

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, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

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

In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

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

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

In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.

Build time sense into the schedule by asking learners to predict what can happen in a certain amount of time: We have 20 minutes before outdoor time. What can you get done?

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

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

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

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.

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