This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

In this two-part math lesson, learners investigate problems that foster algebraic thinking across content strands. In the first part, learners explore even and odd numbers linked to quilts.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.

In this math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners discover that they can create a lens from a water drop. Learners test their lens by looking at words or pictures.

In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.

Learners compare a life-size drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex head and a full-size Sinornithosaurus body to understand that dinosaurs varied in size.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.
