In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
