In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.
