In this math game, learners toss plastic cups to land just right and collect points to win.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this card game, learners make two sets of three cards that are alike. Learners must justify to the rest of the players why the three cards belong in each set.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

Learners shine the light of a laser pointer through sheets of fabric that all have a different number of threads per inch.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their eyes is more dominant.

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

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.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, learners use a laser pointer (with known wavelength of light) to measure the thickness of a human hair.

In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.

In this online puzzle game, learners need to choose a path from a starting number to a goal number. Along the path are simple operations (e.g.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to learn to differentiate between qualitative and quantitative observations and to practice data collection.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.
