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

In this activity, learners explore how the pendulum has been a reliable way to keep time for centuries.

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

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

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

In this activity, learners will build a simple electromagnet. They will test variables that would make the electromagnet stronger.

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

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

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 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 use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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

If you have lights, cardboard, scissors, and some brass fasteners, you can make shadow puppets! Create a story-telling and design challenge for your learners with this simple and creative activity.

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

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

Make a model city happier with LEDs, circuits, motors, and batteries! Groups can think, discuss, design, and build what would make a community happy. Kids can work as part of a team or on their own.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).
