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 about backyard habitats learners create a safe and toad-friendly environment near their own home.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

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 use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

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

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

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

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

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

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.

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 2 of the PDF), learners use art supplies to build models of insects, both real or imagined.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument toy that buzzes when you swing it.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.
