In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

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

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this game, learners cutout a model black hole "cone" and attempt to roll around a marble or other small spherical object without touching the event horizon.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, young learners explore the basic shapes of constellations by making their own scope out of a cardboard tube and paper with pinpricks.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
