In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

In this math lesson, learners determine and compare the rate of descent of various learner-constructed parachutes. Learners construct parachutes that will have maximum hang times.

In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

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

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.
