Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Space Stations: Sponge Spool Spine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

Patterns and Relationships: Peddling Petals
Source Institutions
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.

Bloomin' Bud Glyph
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

Evolutionstechnik or Selection and Variation in the Egyptian Origami Bird (Avis papyrus)

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

Magnetic Sensory Bottles
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

T-Shirt Transformation

Make an Animation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.

Geometry and Spatial Relations: Tessellations WOW!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

Rotational Equilibrium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

Measurement: Sand Babies
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

The Four-Square Quilt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

Greeting Card Boxes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

Ladybug Spots
Source Institutions
In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.
