Battleships: Searching Algorithms
Source Institutions
This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.
Pinball Wizard
Source Institutions
In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.
Light Quest
Source Institutions
Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable
Get-Moving Game
Source Institutions
In this invention challenge activity, learners create an indoor game for one or two people that gets you moving.
Shape & Solid Exploration
Source Institutions
In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.
The Menu Game at the Terribly Terrific Taco
Source Institutions
In this math game (Page 15 of the Dining Out! PDF), learners figure discounts and/or profit increases for various food totals. Learners add decimals to $100.
Tactile Mazes
Source Institutions
In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.
Fantastic Four: A Math Card Game
Source Institutions
This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.
Fly on the Ceiling
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.
Get In The Game
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will use computational thinking to design their own board game.
Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.
Fantastic Fractions
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners compare pattern blocks to visually understand halves, thirds, and sixths.
Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
The Carbon Cycle Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
Tossing Coins
Source Institutions
In this math game (Page 17 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners investigate probability by tossing coins.
Phylogenetics
Source Institutions
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.
Mating Game
Source Institutions
In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.
Survivors! The People of the Arctic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.
Bike Bling
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.
