In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

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

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.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

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.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

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

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.
