In this activity, learners discover how to rotate a flat shape into the third dimension. Learners draw and cut out a shape that has at least one straight edge on an index card.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.
