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 how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.
