In this math lesson, learners learn how to construct stem and leaf plots. Learners first estimate the number of drops of water that will fit on the head of a penny.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

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

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

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.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

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

In this math lesson, learners identify the relationship between the number of sides in a regular polygon and the number of struts needed to make each polygon rigid.
