The Exploratorium is a multifaceted museum of "science, art, and human perception" on Pier 15 in San Francisco. The museum's website veritably bursts with educational resources, among them this page of activities designed to bring geometry to life for kids kindergarten-age through eighth grade. Here teachers, parents, tutors, and caretakers will find enlivening activities like the Geometry Scavenger Hunt, which takes kids out of the classroom and into a world of discovery; the Tiny Pants Photo Challenge, which uses photos and some card stock to learn basic geometric principles; and many others. Each activity includes a grade level designation, a short description, and can be downloaded in PDF format for easy use. A number of the activities are also available in Spanish.
