Dinosaur Breath
Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

Pollution Patrol
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.
Simple Submarine
Source Institutions
Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

Twirling in the Breeze
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Solar Water Heater
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.

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

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