This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

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

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
