In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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 is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

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 make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

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

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

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 make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).
