In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this activity about archaeology, learners will explore different Egyptian hieroglyphs and recognize their meanings and uses.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners will create glitter bottles with adult supervision. These are a fun way for little ones to practice observing and making comparisons.

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

This activity provides instructions for using cornstarch and water to make an ooze which has the properties of both a solid and liquid.

In this chemistry experiment, learners get to make a very bizarre substance using corn starch and water. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Or is it a different kind of substance entirely?

In this activity, learners will "paint" their own crystal artwork by creating a picture with a super saturated salt solution.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, learners will observe magnetic properties and sort objects by them. This activity uses everyday items to teach learners about magnetic forces, poles and properties of magnets.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this craft activity, learners will explore the structure and purpose of antelope horns by constructing their own headband using toilet paper rolls and yarn.

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.
