Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

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 make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
