In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners will participate in a scavenger hunt involving sizes, shapes, and numbers. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
