In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

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 make their own encrypted code to pass along secret messages using a printable cipher wheel.

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

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.

When a lot of people share one network (such as cars using roads, or messages getting through the Internet), there is the possibility that competing processes will create a “deadlock," or an interrupt

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 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 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 math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

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

In this activity about encryption, learners cut out a secret decoder badge from a handout and use it to encode messages to each other.

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.
