In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

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 two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

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.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

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

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

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