In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this activity, learners build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this activity, learners will make their own slushies and learn some of the science behind how the process works.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

Learners make their own paper using old newspaper. Learners can make their paper colorful by adding construction paper.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.
