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

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners make their own totem poles out of recycled materials.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

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.

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 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.

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.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

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

Design and create an optical illusion toy that makes two pictures appear to become one. This is called a thaumatrope and will allow the learner to investigate the phenomenon of persistence of vision.

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 explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

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

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.
