In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity about cartography, learners work in teams to create two different map projections: a planar (or polar) and a cylindrical (or Mercator) projection.

In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

This is a lesson plan for an activity in which learners, playing the role of archeologists, use math concepts about number bases to decipher the Dresden Codex, an ancient Mayan document.
