In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

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.

In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

This is an online Flash game where learners can experiment with ballistics and how to compensate for the varying levels of gravity found on the planets of our Solar System.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

Jugando a este juego, los chicos desarrollan habilidades en área, perímetro, múltiples, y factores. Tomen turnos para hacer rectángulos con 12 cuadrados en la cuadrícula.

This website contains several activities. Mixing in Math Moments are activities that take 5-10 minutes that keep learners occupied, learning about the world, and using math on their own.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

Jugando a este juego de estrategia, los chicos desarrollan su entendimiento sobre cuadrados, área, y perímetro. En su turno, cada jugador hace una línea entre dos punto contiguos en la cuadrícula.

In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 25 of the PDF), learners will investigate how changing the time they go to bed impacts their own sleep patterns.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer, empty soda bottle, rubber plug and water to demonstrate total internal reflection.

In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.
