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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as delivering safe drinking water.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

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

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

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

In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

Learners test two jars containing soil, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the Sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.
