Move That Lighthouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

Rescue Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

The Best Dam Simulation Ever
Source Institutions
This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

Properties of Dust
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

Water Fountain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

Globe at Night
Source Institutions
In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

EEEEK--A Mouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Coma Cluster of Galaxies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

Melting Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

Mirror, Mirror
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

Cast Your Vote
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

Adaptive Device Design
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

Pipeline Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.
Stability of Egg White Foams
Source Institutions
In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

Rubber Band Racers
Source Institutions
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.

Food Forensics: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Source Institutions
This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

Bet the Farm
Source Institutions
This is an online game about the complexities of farming. Learners will "draw" cards and make decisions about how to take care of their farm.

The Squeeze Box
Source Institutions
In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.
