In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this math lesson, learners design an experiment to model a leaky faucet and determine the amount of water wasted due to the leak.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.
