Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

In this math activity (Page 17 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "baseball" and analyze the results of the game.

Learners use their opponent's clues and a compass rose to find the hidden treasure on a map. Learners use problem solving and coordinate grid skills as they hunt for treasure.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners get their hands dirty by playing in a container of soil. Then they compare the effectiveness of cleaning their hands with just a paper towel vs.

In this math activity, learners play a number game to explore the relationships between numbers, combinations, and the concept of equivalency.

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

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this math activity, learners use cubes to calculate how many blocks it would take to build stairways with different heights.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

In this math activity, learners make a set of fraction cards to play a game that will help relieve their fraction frustrations.

In this math game (Page 6 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners examine the probability of rolling sums from 0 to 12 with two dice. The first player to reach the finish line is the winner.

What causes frost to form on the outside of a cold container? In this activity, learners discover that liquid water can change states and freeze to become ice.

This activity shows learners how computers use numbers to represent pictures. A grid is used to represent the pixels (short for picture elements) of a computer screen.

In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

In this math lesson, learners use simple addition facts to compute values (in dollars and cents) for their names.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this computer science activity about finite-state automaton (on page 45 of the PDF), learners use a map and choose various pathways to find Treasure Island.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.
