In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners will create a drawing with dry erase markers and watch it come to life. Learners will explore chemistry, art and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

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

In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity, learners investigate the basic crystal structures that metal atoms form.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

Learners assemble a hot-air balloon from tissue paper. The heated air (from a heat gun) inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air and causes the balloon to float.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this activity on page 6 of the PDF, learners dissolve Epsom salt in water and discover that the resulting solution can be used to create a work of art.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

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

In this activity, learners try to float ink on the surface of water to create a pattern and then capture it with absorbent paper.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density by pouring 5 different liquids into a jar. Food coloring is added if needed to give each liquid a distinct color.
