In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this math activity, learners make and explore patterns using the letters in their names, a grid, and some colors.

In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this math activity, learners sort patterns into similar "families" or groups that have the same pattern, but different symbols.

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.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity related to nanotechnology, learners observe some of the effects that result from creating a thin layer of material several nanometers thick.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

Learners build pan pipes out of drinking straws by cutting them to different lengths. Then, learners make music by blowing across the straws and playing some well-known songs.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and picture a scene in their heads.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.
