In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners will plan a snack within a budget. With a $20 limit (theoretical) to spend on snack for everyone, learners look over grocery store circulars and make their shopping lists.
