Even fast computers are limited to how quickly they can solve problems. One way to speed things up is to use several computers at once.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

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

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

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

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, explore the unique molecular structure and conductive nature of graphene. Learners construct a circuit with a battery and LED bulb.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.
