Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bubble maze that allows bubbles to move through a series of “on” and “off” switches.

In this activity, learners construct a rocket powered by the pressure generated from an effervescing antacid tablet reacting with water, and build a launch pad for their rocket.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

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.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

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.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

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.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

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.
