In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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 use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

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

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
