In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

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

In this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

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.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
