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 activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

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

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.

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

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 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.
