Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.

In this activity, learners will divide into teams or groups of equal size. “How many teams of three can we make?” “We need an equal number of children at each of the four computers.

In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.

In this fun and interactive online exhibit, the straight lines of a tile wall appear to curve. The learner moves the rows of tiles and changes the color of the grout to achieve the intriguing effect.

In this activity, learners explore the parts of a circuit by modeling, as a group, a “human” circuit.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.

In this online version of the classic paper and pencil game, learners practice looking ahead to anticipate an opponent's move.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this online Flash game and spacewalk mission simulation, learners are challenged to repair parts of a space station while balancing their oxygen and fuel use carefully.

Build a phonograph record player using a cactus needle, a record, LEGOs gear box, and a piece of paper! This activity uses a Pico Cricket to turn the motor.

In this number puzzle/trick, learner #1 thinks of a number between 1 and 63. Learner #2 shows learner #1 six cards and asks them whether the cards contain their number.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

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

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

In this interactive game, learners will test their memory of animal and insect sounds. Flip over cards, listen to the sound, and try to find the ones that match.
