In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.
