Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.
