Making Mosaics
Source Institutions
In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

Games of Chance and Brains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

Home Mycology Lab
Source Institutions
Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.
Multiple Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.

Enciérrelo
Source Institutions
Jugando a este juego de estrategia, los chicos desarrollan su entendimiento de área y perímetro. En su turno, cada jugador hace una línea entre dos punto contiguos en la cuadrícula.

The Four-Square Quilt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

Exponential Models: Rhinos and M&M’s ®
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

Wind Turbine Blade Design
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Sweetly Balanced Equations
Source Institutions
In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

The Muddy City: Minimal Spanning Trees
Source Institutions
In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

Model Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

Tug-of-War
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

Rover Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

Greeting Card Boxes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

Balsa Towers
Source Institutions
Learners work in groups to design and build a tower out of balsa wood. As a motivator, they can compete to build a tower with the highest strength-to-weight ratio.

Big Banner Mural
Source Institutions
This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

Introduction to the Scientific Method
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 26 of the PDF), learners make observations, formulate hypotheses and design a controlled experiment, based on the reaction of carbon dioxide with calcium hydroxide.

Looking Through the Algebraic Lens
Source Institutions
In this two-part math lesson, learners investigate problems that foster algebraic thinking across content strands. In the first part, learners explore even and odd numbers linked to quilts.
