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

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

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

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 trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, leaners build their very own rainsticks, an instrument filled with pebbles and seeds that create sounds like falling rain. Save costs by using material found around the home.

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.

Learn how to make and fly a paper helicopter! This simple activity includes a template (for the copter "blades") and instructions for folding, flying, and testing designs.

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

In this activity, learners build a simple tabletop seesaw to test how different variables (the position of the fulcrum, distance, weight) affect its balance under increasing weight loads.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

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

Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.

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 activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

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

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
