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 concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

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

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

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

Each learner chews a piece of gum until it loses its flavor, and then leaves the gum to dry for several days.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

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.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

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

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.
