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

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

This is an activity in which learners explore the effects of gravity, motion and momentum while creating art.

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

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

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

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this experience, learners use the internet to research physical details about Chihuly's Fireworks of Glass "Tower" and "Ceiling" and consider the decisions Chihuly had to make as he was planning th

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 math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

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

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.
