Beat the Clock: Sorting Networks
Source Institutions
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.

Computation and Estimation: Roll Out The Barrel
Source Institutions
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.

What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

Number Sense and Computation: Food For Thought
Source Institutions
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.

Paint by the Numbers
Source Institutions
In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In Proportion
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Materials: Graphene
Source Institutions
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.

Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
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

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

Number Sense and Computation: Soak It Up
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

From the Internet to Outer Space
