Working with Wind Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
Tinkering with Tops
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.
Magnus Glider
Source Institutions
A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b
Pendulum Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the pendulum has been a reliable way to keep time for centuries.
Working with Watermills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.
Cylindrical Wing
Source Institutions
In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.
