In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to determine the length of the Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing arm.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this math lesson, learners learn how to construct stem and leaf plots. Learners first estimate the number of drops of water that will fit on the head of a penny.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 103: Enough With the Seashells!, learners practice estimating numbers of objects (like shells) and then check their estimates by counting.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

In this math lesson, learners are introduced to proportional reasoning through modeling, sharing, and questioning techniques.
