In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

In this experience, learners use the internet to research physical details about Chihuly's Fireworks of Glass "Tower" and "Ceiling" and consider the decisions Chihuly had to make as he was planning th

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

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

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

In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

In this on site "field trip" activity (located on pages 6-9 of PDF), learners get hands-on experience identifying building materials by playing "Building Bingo".

In this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

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 activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

As learners play this game, they build skills in area, perimeter, multiples and factors. They take turns making rectangles with 12 squares on the grid.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this activity, learners help a poor cartographer color in the countries on a map, making sure each country is colored a different color than any of its neighbors.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this math activity (Page 8 of the Dining Out! PDF), younger learners select items from a menu and count out the total amount needed using the fewest bills and coins possible.

This activity helps learners learn about math through a real-world scenario. Three friends are baking cookies for their school’s bake sale.
