In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

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

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

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 (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

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.

In this activity, learners are asked to examine the differences between two materials in a pair.

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.
