In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

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

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.

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

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 quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this math lesson, learners explore transformations and quadratic functions through toothpick patterns.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

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.

In this calculus activity, learners use a classic problem of geometrical probability to find an important mathematical constant (pi).

In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

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

In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.
