In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

This activity aims to stimulate discussion on the question of whether computers can exhibit “intelligence,” or are ever likely to do so in the future.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners imagine what the world might look like if we could build an elevator to space!

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this activity, learners will build a ball run contraption.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

This activity about cryptographic techniques illustrates a situation where information is shared, and yet none of it is revealed.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity, learners electrically plate zinc onto brass objects.
