Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity described on pages 2-3 of the PDF, participants debate whether there there's life elsewhere in the universe.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

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

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

Space Guess Quest is a fun game that encourages participants to identify the many types of objects in space, from human-made spacecraft to nebulas, galaxies, stars, and worlds.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.

Learners listen to and try to decipher a radio message that was sent from Earth to possible intelligent civilizations.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
