This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

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.

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

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).
