In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.

In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

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

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners construct drawing machines using a cup, some markers, and a battery pack. The markers act as "legs" for the machine, making a drawing that records as it moves.

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

Cardboard Automata are a playful way to explore simple machine elements while creating a mechanical sculpture.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
