In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

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 activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

As learners play this strategy game, they develop understanding of squares, area, and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

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

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.
