Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

Constellation Viewer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore what a constellation is and make their own.

Looking Back Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Sticky Structures
Source Institutions
In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

Three Little Pigs
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Viral Packaging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

Solar System in My Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

Wind Works!
Source Institutions
Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

Soapy Boat
Source Institutions
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.
Building a Community From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

Luminescence
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

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

Modeling an HIV Particle
Source Institutions
This activity helps learners visualize the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by constructing three-dimensional HIV particle models from paper.
Build a Super Structure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.
