In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

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

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

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

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

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

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

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

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.
