In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
