Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

Wheels aren't the only things that can "roll" objects that are placed on top of it. Make non-intuitive shapes from cutouts and a compass to demonstrate this.

Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.

In this math activity, learners play a number game to explore the relationships between numbers, combinations, and the concept of equivalency.

In this activity, learners explore geometry and spatial relationships as they figure out how to arrange tables for a party.

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.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

In this math activity, learners make a set of fraction cards to play a game that will help relieve their fraction frustrations.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

See what force a magnet has on a wire that has current running through it: will it push it, pull it, or will nothing happen? This is the foundation of a simple electric motor.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this activity, learners take a turn contributing a closed figure made of six squares to a large grid; each must be different from all the others on the grid so far.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

Learners describe objects in a room using only numbers and shapes. They can measure the object (like a desk) and make a list of facts about it (e.g.

In this math lesson, learners use simple addition facts to compute values (in dollars and cents) for their names.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.
