Here's a very simple activity if you have paper and scissors: make one cut, unfold, and you have a beautiful star! A great way to learn about polygons and origami mathematics.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

In this activity, learners use a soda can to decode a secret message. Learners wrap scytale (pronounced ski-tally) code around a can and challenge friends to see if they can crack the codes.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

In this activity, learners will explore probability using dice. They will predict and then roll the dice to observe how many rolls it would take to repeat a matching pair. Learn track predictions vs.

In this math activity, learners play a game that helps reinforce learners' understanding of the coordinate system.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this activity, learners will trick out their bike with crafts and flair. Learners will explore symmetry, cause and effect and design through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

Learners mix vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas. With the addition of a bit of liquid soap, the gas becomes trapped in measurable bubbles.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

How much can you do in one minute? In this activity, learners estimate how many times a partner can complete a task (like writing their name or jumping jacks) in one minute.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

In this math activity, learners play a game and try to collect the most cards by guessing if the next number to appear will be odd or even.

In this math activity, learners find patterns in telephone numbers.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.
