Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.

Strike 'em Down & Add 'em Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

Kites
Source Institutions
In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Straws and Airplanes
Source Institutions
Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

Solving Playground Network Problems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

Dance Pad Mania
Source Institutions
Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

Exploring Measurement
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?

Getting There!: Navigation and Trajectory
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

Vestibular-Ocular Reflex
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

The Web of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Nosedive
Source Institutions
This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Go Fly a Kite
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Mountain Man Measurement Rendezvous
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
