Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
