In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

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

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 explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

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

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
