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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

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 (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
