In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

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

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

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

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 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.
