In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this activity, learners work in partners to create and exchange messages written in Braille. Learners use a Braille key and thumbtacks to write their messages in Braille.

In this online puzzle game, learners need to choose a path from a starting number to a goal number. Along the path are simple operations (e.g.

In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

In this math lesson, learners identify the relationship between the number of sides in a regular polygon and the number of struts needed to make each polygon rigid.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
