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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

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.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

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.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.
