In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

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

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

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).
