Geometry and Spatial Relations: Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.
Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.
Crank It Up
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.
Castle Basics
Source Institutions
In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha
Magical Möbius
Source Institutions
In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.
Geometry and Algebra: The Future Flight Equation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.
Kites
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.
Geometry and Spatial Relations: It's a Perfect Fit
Source Institutions
In this three-part math activity, learners explore shapes. In part one, learners identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes.
Patterns and Relationships: The Magic Box
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.
Paperfolding Polyhedrons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.
Building with Wonderful Junk
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.
Bubble Geometry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
