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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

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 activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.

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

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.

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