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

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

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

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

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

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 math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

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

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to craft and talk about shapes and relative positions of such shapes by creating a mobile.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

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

In this experience, learners use the internet to research physical details about Chihuly's Fireworks of Glass "Tower" and "Ceiling" and consider the decisions Chihuly had to make as he was planning th

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.
