Robot Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

Tree Trunk Diameter to Branch Height Relationship
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

Swing That Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this full inquiry activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), groups of learners will make predictions about which feature of a pendulum (mass, length,

Pósteres Sobre Animales y Matemáticas
Source Institutions
Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

Paper Chain Testing
Source Institutions
Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

Four-Sock Drawers
Source Institutions
These puzzles use four colors of socks in a drawer to get learners thinking algebraically.

Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

Momentos de Mixing in Math: Varias Actividades Matemáticas de 5 ó 10 Minutos
Source Institutions
Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

Roller Coasters
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

A Tree of Genetic Traits
Source Institutions
Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

Our Place in Our Galaxy
Source Institutions
In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

Program a Friend
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

A Universe of Galaxies: How is the Universe Structured?
Source Institutions
This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore models of the Milky Way and other galaxies to get a sense of relative distances to other galaxies.

That's the Way the Ball Bounces: Level 2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

Modeling Tidal Action
Source Institutions
In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.
