This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

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

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

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

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 (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners develop their understanding of combinations as they create as many different kinds of tostadas as possible.

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.

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

In this activity, learners help a poor cartographer color in the countries on a map, making sure each country is colored a different color than any of its neighbors.

Data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones. Learners explore how to represent numbers using just these two symbols, through a binary system of cards.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.
