Why Are Two Eyes Better Than One?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how their depth perception would be affected if they only had one eye. Learners work in pairs and attempt to drop a penny in a cup with one eye covered.

Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

Exploring Tessellations (Grades 6-8)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design unique tiles and make repeating patterns to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

Scaling Cubes

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

Building Three-Dimensional (3D) Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

Exploring a Complex Space-Filling Shape
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.
