In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners help a poor cartographer color in the countries on a map, making sure each country is colored a different color than any of its neighbors.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

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

In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
