In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

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 activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

In this activity, learners will explore pi and the mathematical relationships between a circle's diameter, circumference, and radius.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.
