Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this activity, learners predict where a ball will go after it bounces off another object. Learners discover that the motion of objects is predictable based on laws of motion.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

Learners construct and use a "real" 3D coordinate system out of balsa wood and foam core. They will then be able to locate coordinates in space.

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 activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

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

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
