In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

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

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.
