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 compare the weight of equal volumes of wax, water, and clay. Learners discover that since the wax weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense than water and will float.

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

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.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

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

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

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.

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

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 examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

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 create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

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 build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
