In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

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

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 activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

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 optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

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

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.

In this activity, learners watch a figure "magically" float up through the air.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.
