Activity:
Fizzy Paint Moons are a way for students to learn about the phases of the moon. Students are mixing and creating moons, planets, stars, and even a sun. The science lies in the chemical reaction that occurs between the baking soda and the vinegar. While doing this, students are combining this chemical reaction and creating a cool art piece for everyone to admire.

About this Activity:
This activity is a way for students to see that art can used with a lot of different materials. The oil pastels and watercolors work together to create a beautiful art piece for students to embrace their uniqueness and individuality, but connecting these two types of chemicals and bringing out the colors underneath the watercolor.

About The Activity:
This activity is a way for students to transform a paper towel roll into their very own space shuttles. The space shuttles allow students to become engineers and put the pieces and parts together, to eventually create their own space shuttle. This aligns well with STEAM because it incorporates measuring, cutting, and sliding pieces to fit within each other. Students are being provided with a hands-on activity, that can be used in many different subject areas.

About this Activity:
Rubber band cars are a great way for students to learn more about force and motion, but also how to become engineers in their own little way. Throughout this activity, students are working with elasticity, balance, motion, and the different mechanics needed for the cars to operate. Students would also be able to color, number, and even glue different things on the sides, so they can make unique creations. With engineering, students are applying knowledge to practical things that people use everyday. You can locate a lot of the materials, just by looking around the house, which can be economically appropriate for some students.

About this Activity:
Lego sun prints are a way for students to see how the sun is made up of ultraviolet rays (UV) and that they can break down lots of chemical bonds. You could experiment with different colors of construction paper and compare the results and understand that some papers might reflect rather than absorb the UV rays, which makes it less likely to fade. Your students are creating art through the sun which can allow them to see that your environment can be a way to create many types of art related activities.

About this Activity:
This activity is well known throughout the science industry. It is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it is neither a liquid or a solid. This experiment is a great way to show your students how changes in pressure can cause the properties of some materials to change. A way to incorporate art into this experiment, is to have students understand how mixing two colors together, can create a new color. Your students are learning how to create different colors, but also how properties of different materials can change. In order to make this experiment more effective, especially for the young grades, there is a book by Dr.Seuss that goes through what Oobleck is and how it works. You are tying in science, art, and literature for this experiment to be the most successful.

About this Activity:
Crystal landscape is a way for students to explore crystal growth and how over time, many changes can occur. Throughout this activity, you will use liquid watercolor so your crystals can be very colorful. It takes four days for your crystals to be fully formed and created. It is important that you find a calming place to locate your crystals because they can be very fragile. This type of activity allows students to see what our world has to offer, while also being very creative in the way they color their own crystal landscapes.
