Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

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

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

Learners work in teams to investigate how scientists use physical characteristics to classify living things.

In this nighttime, outdoor activity, learners keep a record of what they see in the sky by drawing constellations, the Moon, and making note of the weather and conditions each day.

In this activity, learners explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

In this activity, learners discover how artists start with a skeleton and turn it into a realistic drawing of a dinosaur.

In this activity, learners explore mammal locomotion by constructing flipbooks.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

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 work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.
