Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

Learn about dyes and mordants (fixatives) when you tie-dye fabric with Kool-Aid™ and vinegar. The colored molecules in Kool-Aid™ form a chemical bond between the fiber and dye molecules.

In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.

In this activity (on pages 23-29), partners use the Plant Traveler Cards, along with a world map and map worksheets, to follow plants such as cassava, chocolate and coffee that grew first in one part

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this activity related to dinosaurs, learners explore why animals live in families. Learners discuss and identify animals living in families or groups from images and photos.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this science/art activity, learners create an insignia or emblem for a planet exploration mission.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!
