In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

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

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

In this activity, learners design a bicycle helmet. Participants will explore the design of bicycle helmets to gain an appreciation for the role that helmet layers play protecting the head.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.
