Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

Learners see that a carrot slice sinks in fresh water and floats in saltwater.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In the kitchen, learners can perform their own density investigation.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will see firsthand that air takes up space and has pressure by attempting to inflate a balloon inside of a bottle.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.
