This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

Create 3D glasses and use them to explore color, light and optics. Fool your brain into 'seeing' three dimensions on a flat surface!

In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

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

In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

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

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

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, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.
