Family Reunion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine counting, area and perimeter concepts as they prepare the seating arrangement for a family reunion dinner.

Science of Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

Fly on the Ceiling
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.

Clay Beams and Columns
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

Cranking Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

Dispenser Designs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

Investigating Ice Worlds
Source Institutions
In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

Using Ohm's Law to Build a Voltage Divider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

Fantastic Fractions
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners compare pattern blocks to visually understand halves, thirds, and sixths.

A Hole in the Ground
Source Institutions
Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

Can You Copperplate?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.

Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

Pulleys and Force
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

Cook Up a Comet
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

Coma Cluster of Galaxies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

Decoding Machine
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore variables and their uses.
