In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.
