From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

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 archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

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.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

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 design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

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 design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

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 slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

In this activity, learners will create their own percussion instrument with recycled materials. Learners will explore design, fabrication, cause and effect and sound through this activity.
