Folding Matters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

Paper Folding: Unfurling Geometric Paper Shapes
Source Institutions
Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

The Squeeze Box
Source Institutions
In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

Cylindrical Wing
Source Institutions
In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

Exponential Models: Rhinos and M&M’s ®
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Paper Sculptures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.
One-Cut Paper Stars
Source Institutions
Here's a very simple activity if you have paper and scissors: make one cut, unfold, and you have a beautiful star! A great way to learn about polygons and origami mathematics.

Pocket Protractor
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create angle-measuring devices--protractors--out of paper. Learners follow a series of steps to fold a square sheet of paper into a triangular Pocket Protractor.
