Exploring a Complex Space-Filling Shape
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.
Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.
Paper Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.
Falling Rhythm
Source Institutions
Listen to the beat of gravity. By taking two strings with weights tied to them at different, yet uniform intervals, you can hear the uniformity (and rhythm) of gravity's accelerating pull.
Resonant Rings
Source Institutions
Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.
Modulated Coil: Hear the magnet!
Source Institutions
Do you have an extra portable cassette tape player hanging around?
String Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to make polygons (many-sided shapes) with string. Learners sit on the floor and hold onto a piece of string slid between their thumbs and index fingers.
