In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

Learners estimate how many small triangles will fill a larger shape. Then they use a triangle stamp (or stencil made from a file folder) to fill the larger shape with triangles.

In this activity, learners discover how to rotate a flat shape into the third dimension. Learners draw and cut out a shape that has at least one straight edge on an index card.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity related to dinosaurs, learners explore why animals live in families. Learners discuss and identify animals living in families or groups from images and photos.

In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

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