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

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 family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

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

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.

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 explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

Align four color transparencies, each one a single color (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black), and see a beautiful full color image.

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

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

In this activity, learners will experiment with water- and air-filled balloons as a way of dampening sound before it reaches their ears.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

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

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.
