These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

This activity is on page 10 (continued on the right side of page 11) of the pdf, part of the Forest Animals Discovery Box. In this game, learners act out the food web.

Learners experiment to see which colors of light will cause a phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) material to glow.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

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.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

Learners drop a magnet through a coil of wire to create electric current in a circuit. LEDs in the circuit allow learners to detect the direction of current flow.

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, learners use a laser pointer (with known wavelength of light) to measure the thickness of a human hair.

In this activity, learners explore healthy choices related to the foods they eat. The importance of a variety of fruits and vegetables to a healthy diet is the focus of the experience.

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

This website contains several activities. Mixing in Math Moments are activities that take 5-10 minutes that keep learners occupied, learning about the world, and using math on their own.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make three of Harry Potter's essential school supplies: quills, ink, and color-changing paper.
