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

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

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

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 environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

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

Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
