Working in groups, students will select a city and then use U.S. government census data to develop an algebraic relationship between time and population size.
In this activity, students work in teams to develop a method for creating a mathematical model of the path of a ball. The teams measure the height from which a ball is thrown, and the time taken for the ball to reach the ground.
In this activity, students will design their own miniature golf hole and then determine the path along which a ball would travel to score a "hole-in-one."
In this activity, students will gain an understanding of the value of using a scale model and the effect of water speed on erosion rate and stream formation.
In this activity, students will build a simple solar cooker, make observations and qualitatively describe the melting rate of a piece of chocolate in the cooker.
In this activity, students will investigate how robots work including robotic parts and explain how energy is transferred to make different parts move.

In this activity students will examine fruits and vegetables in order to figure out which ones are really fruits, and what types of fruits they really are.
In this activity, students will examine and sketch various trace fossils from an unknown creature and then construct an image of the creature that they believe produced these fossils.
