This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

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

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this math lesson, learners explore transformations and quadratic functions through toothpick patterns.

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones. Learners explore how to represent numbers using just these two symbols, through a binary system of cards.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.

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

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe
