Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

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 (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
