More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

Exploring at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
Size Them Up: Learning About Volume and Capacity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

Airplane Wing Investigation
Source Institutions
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.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

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

Exploring Measurement
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?

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

Balloon Hovercraft
Source Institutions
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.

Sort It Out!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

Sizing Up Temperature
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
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

For the Birds: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

Make a Model of a Home Made From Shipping Containers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Fizzy Nano Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

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

Building Tall
Source Institutions
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.
