In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

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 chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

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 investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this two-day activity (on pages 16-22), learners use a process like that of the Yoruba people of Nigeria to create an African symbol on cloth.

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 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 their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

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

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.
