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, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.
