In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this activity, Frankenstein's lab is running out of electricity! Learners use fruit to help Igor find a temporary source of energy to turn on a light.

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 how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

This is a perfect summertime lunch activity! Pico Cricket is required (micro controller). First, get a bunch of cut up fruit, line them up, then plug a piece of fruit with a Pico Cricket sensor clip.

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

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process of extrusion used to produce pipes and wires in industry.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

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

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners build a simple solar oven out of household materials to melt chocolate and marshmallow between graham crackers--known as s'mores.
