In this activity, learners will use clear nail polish and the power of chemistry to create paper with a rainbow sheen.

This is a simple and fun activity for learners to explore water and colors.

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 11 of the PDF, learners use candle wax to make "invisible" designs that are revealed with watercolor paints.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

In this activity, learners build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

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.

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

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