In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, learners discover how the extent of various wind speeds changes in each of the four quadrants around a hurricane.

In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

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

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this math activity, learners play a game in which every roll can earn you counters, but if you roll the wrong number (6), you have to put everything back.

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use numbers to create CyberOlympic teams with the fastest times.

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.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this calculus activity, learners use a classic problem of geometrical probability to find an important mathematical constant (pi).

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity, learners explore geometry and spatial relationships as they figure out how to arrange tables for a party.
