Shape Stamping
Source Institutions
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.

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

Thinking in Three Dimensions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

Butterfly Symmetry Painting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

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

Box Ecology
Source Institutions
This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

Building a 3-D Space Maze: Escher Staircase
Source Institutions
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

Bubble Sculpting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

Symmetry of Butterfly Wings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

Zany Zen Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

For the Birds
Source Institutions
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.

Super Sounding Drum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

Kaleidoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

What is an Animal Group?
Source Institutions
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.

Building Three-Dimensional (3D) Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

Personal Pinhole Theater
Source Institutions
Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

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

Stereoscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.
