In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

Learners make their own paper using old newspaper. Learners can make their paper colorful by adding construction paper.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

Learners build a simple solar oven from a shoebox, black construction paper, and aluminum foil. Over the course of a few hours, the oven heats up water enough to brew tea.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

Learners make a simple battery out of "sandwiches" of aluminum foil, pennies, and a salt water-soaked paper towel.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
