Twisted Tesselations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Silly Putty Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.
