In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

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

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

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 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 the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

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 will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.
