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

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.
