Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

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
