In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

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 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 are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

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

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

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.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

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.
