In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Groups of learners are provided with a generic car base and an egg. Their mission: design a device/enclosure to protect the egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp with increasing slopes.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

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

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.
