In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

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.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

In this activity (on pages 2-8), learners experience how scientists use classification in their study of animals.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

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 (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity about the solar system, learners use various light sources to examine ice with different components to understand how NASA studies planets and moons from space.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
