In this activity, learners investigate the behavior of magnets. Learners create a "wonder wand" with a magnet so they can move a skater around.

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

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

This is an activity in which learners create magic wands from a variety of materials making their choices by considering what kind of magic they want to make.

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this activity, learners practice counting and multiplication as they figure out how many animal body parts they have to examine as "Dr. Vet."

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners explore alternative uses of a simple paper cup, dubbed a "mystery item." Learners act as detectives and explore the properties and functions of th

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.

In this math activity, learners play a game in which every roll can earn you counters, but if you roll the wrong number (6), you have to put everything back.

In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.

In this activity, learners will use string and salt to lift an ice cube out of a glass of water. Salt depresses the freezing point of water, allowing it to melt around the string and refreeze.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners use art supplies to build models of insects, both real or imagined.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.
