In this math lesson, learners count and compare amounts of money less than or equal to one dollar.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners explore the economics of coal mining as you they use fake money to purchase mining tools, attempt to carefully mine their cookies, sell their chocolate chip ore, and try to

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.
