In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

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

Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

In this hands-on activity, learners build their own kaleidoscopes and explore how light can reflect of off surfaces such as mirrors, to produce beautiful patterns.

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

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.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image--without a camera!

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
