Numbered Heads
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and use a variety of strategies to solve a hidden number problem (or missing factor). Learners practice their number and operations skills.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.
Handy Family Tree
Source Institutions
In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.
Brain Box (Bag) of Science
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.
Tangram Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.
Shake and Match
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a hearing based memory game that they can share with friends.
Needlework Designs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.
Find My Card
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners find the answer to the question, "if you have a pile of 8 cards, and you remove half, then half again, how many times can you do this until you get to just one card?" This w
Two Ears are Better Than One: Sound Localization
Source Institutions
This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.
Condensation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.
Exploring Size: Memory Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.
Let's Go Ice Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to lift a floating ice cube out of a glass of water using just one end of a piece of string.
Super Shrinkers
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

Source Institutions
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.
Mighty Seeds
Source Institutions
In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.
Nature Journals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.
The Size and Distance of the Planets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Catch the (Sound) Wave!
Source Institutions
See and hear how sound waves travel through different types of materials. Extend the experiment online and learn how you can "see" with sound waves using ultrasound.
Ocean in a Bottle
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.
