Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

In this design challenge, leaners attempt to build a strong structure out of LEGO® bricks that can withstand a 4-foot drop.

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.

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

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 work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.
