This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

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.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this activity, learners build a paper model of the spacecraft and photometer (telescope) used during NASA's Kepler Mission.

In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

Learners make their own paper using old newspaper. Learners can make their paper colorful by adding construction paper.

This is an online game about the complexities of farming. Learners will "draw" cards and make decisions about how to take care of their farm.
