Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.
Cats and Canaries
Source Institutions
In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.
Dr. Vet: Noses, Ears, Legs and Eyes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice counting and multiplication as they figure out how many animal body parts they have to examine as "Dr. Vet."
Living Clocks
Source Institutions
In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.
Using a Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.
Biodiversity and Evolutionary Trees
Source Institutions
In this interactive activity, learners analyze seashells to explore phylogeny and evolution. Learners identify similar and dissimilar seashells to create a phylogenetic tree.
Symmetry of Butterfly Wings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.
Generating and Recording Data
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a "function machine" to collect and organize simple data. The function machine in this case is a cardboard box and the input/output data are paper fish.
Magic Turtle Squares
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create a magic turtle where all the rows, columns and diagonals add up to fifteen.
Survival of the Fittest: Variations in the Clam Species Clamys sweetus
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
Survival of the Fittest: Battling Beetles
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.
Good Catch!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.
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.
Ladybug Spots
Source Institutions
In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.
