In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

This is an activity about robotics programming. Learners will discover how precise programmers have to be as they instruct a friend to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.
