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

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, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

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

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

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 hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

This simple construction activity teaches the importance of architectural structure. Learners build and test designs for a paper "doghouse" strong enough to hold the weight of a jumbo dog biscuit.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

Use a Pico Cricket (micro-controller) to animate your art! You can program a Pico Cricket to make your art spin, light up, or make music.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

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

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.
