Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

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

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

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

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
