This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

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

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 how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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

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 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, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

Learners see convection currents in action in this highly visual demonstration. Sealed bags of colored hot or cold water are immersed in tanks of water.

Learners cover a bottle with a balloon. When they immerse the bottle in warm water, the balloon inflates. When they immerse the bottle in a bowl of ice, the balloon deflates.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

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

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

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