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

This open-ended art project allows learners to create their own colorful ice sculpture by using rock salt and food coloring on a solid block of ice.

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 watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

Create a painting by blowing air out of a straw. Push liquid acrylic paint around on some watercolor paper by aiming short bursts of air onto the paint puddle.

In this art meets chemistry activity, early learners discover the almost magical absorbent properties of salt while creating ethereal watercolor paintings.

In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

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

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners follow a recipe to make a dough similar to the clay artists use to make sculptures.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners use glue instead of glass to create artwork that can be hung in a window.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners experiment with the interesting designs that can be made by painting on plaster.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

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

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.
