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

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

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 activity, learners create a simple “top” from a CD, marble and bottle cap, and use it as a spinning platform for a variety of illusion-generating patterns.

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

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.

In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this sorting activity, learners play a game in which they try to identify the largest number of differences between two objects.

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 activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.
