Linkages
Source Institutions
This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

Sound Charades
Source Institutions
In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

Mystery Powders
Source Institutions
Learners are given mysterious white powders and have to determine their identity with chemical tests.

Subtractive Paint Prints
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

Decibel Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will construct an air cannon as a model for the human ear.

Bonseki Salt Art
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will be creating art using a traditional Japanese art style.

Toilet Paper Solar System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

DNA Extraction from Wheat Germ
Source Institutions
DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

Squash Dissection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

The Gas You Pass
Source Institutions
Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Metamorphic
Source Institutions
This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

Build a Lung
Source Institutions
Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!

Light Maze
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore light with reflective surfaces. Learners will make predictions and share their observations as they experiment with directing a beam of light.

Make A Map for A Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

Exploring the Solar System: Asteroid Mining
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

Resource Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

Achieving Orbit
Source Institutions
In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

Water Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

Flower Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

Coding Algorithms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will code an algorithm to make it through a maze.
