In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

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.

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 fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

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

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 activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

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

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

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.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

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

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.
