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 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.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

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 transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

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

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.
