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 how musical instruments are engineered.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

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

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

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

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

Learners display their findings after a study of surface area and volume. They build a mobile to show a commercially available box and a constructed cubical box of the same volume.

Learners construct and use a "real" 3D coordinate system out of balsa wood and foam core. They will then be able to locate coordinates in space.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

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

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

Learners apply their knowledge of heat transfer to design two cans - one that will retain heat and one that will cool down quickly.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

Learners initially test to see how many drops of liquid (water, rubbing alcohol, and vegetable oil) can fit on a penny.

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

In this engineering activity, learners design and build a mechanical arm to lift a small item.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.
