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 work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

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

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).

In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.
