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.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

Learners participate in a variety of activities modeling different disabilities.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
