Source Institutions
In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

Push Pull Painter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.
Math and Creativity Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

Watercolor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use chemistry to create a night sky watercolor painting. They will experiment to learn the effects of mixing crayon, salt, and lemon juice with water color paints.

Kinetic Sculpture
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

Metallophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

Simple Pop-Up Mechanisms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

Making a Translation Tessellation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

Micro Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

Night Lights
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

Milk Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

Thumb Piano
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.

Wolf Postures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

Marshmallow Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

Atomic Mobile
Source Institutions
Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
