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

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

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

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

In this activity, learners will repurpose an old t-shirt to create their own yarn or string.

In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

Learners compare a life-size drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex head and a full-size Sinornithosaurus body to understand that dinosaurs varied in size.

In this activity related to dinosaurs, learners explore why animals live in families. Learners discuss and identify animals living in families or groups from images and photos.

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.
