In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

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.
