This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

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

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

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 design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

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