In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this math activity (Page 12 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "soccer" and analyze the results of the game.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

In this math activity (Page 14 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "basketball" and analyze the results of the game.

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

In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.
