In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
