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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

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

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

In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.

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

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

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

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

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 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.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

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.
