In this web-based activity, learners try to figure out who in an online chat room has their matching puzzle piece.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

In this activity, learners use a fictitious map of "Tourist Town" and counters to problem solve how to place ice-cream vans on street intersections so that every other intersection is connected to one

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.

Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.

In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

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

Even fast computers are limited to how quickly they can solve problems. One way to speed things up is to use several computers at once.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

In this activity, learners use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
