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

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

Create a “Find Someone” list, with about 10 items, each containing a shape, number, or measurement. Can you find someone in the group with hair about 4 inches long? Someone wearing parallel lines?

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 will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

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

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en línea, en libros de consulta, y en calendarios y almanaques.

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 Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

Learners investigate one factor affecting reaction rates: temperature. In a darkened room, two identical lightsticks are placed in water -- one in hot water and one in cold water.

In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit
