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

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

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 activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.

In this activity, learners explore how pictures change in curved mirrors. Learners make cylindrical mirrors by wrapping Mylar around soda cans.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.
