Make Ziff's Carpenter's Square
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

Soap-Film Interference Model: Get on our wavelength!
Source Institutions
By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.
Bianca's Body Math
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.
CyberOlympic Card Game
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, learners use numbers to create CyberOlympic teams with the fastest times.
Build a Lever
Source Institutions
Learners build a lever and use it to lift a load. With the load on one end of the ruler, learners add coins to the effort cup at the other end until the load is lifted.
Boredom Buster
Source Institutions
In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.
