This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

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

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

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

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

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.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
