In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this chemistry activity, learners observe a combustion reaction and deduce the components necessary for the reaction to occur.

In this math lesson, learners play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity), learners will develop their own version of a tool used by biologists, a dichotomous key, by collecting all their left shoes.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this chemistry activity, learners perform three chemical reactions in a sealed zip-top bag. Learners will record their observations and classify the changes as chemical or physical.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

This game for one to four players uses a deck of cards to develop mental addition skills.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.
