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.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this activity, learners build a "pneumatic trough," a laboratory apparatus used for collecting pure gas samples over water.

In this activity, learners work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe.

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

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

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

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 math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

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, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.
