DIY Pasta Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.
Biodomes Engineering Design Project
In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.
Water Rocket Launch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.
Watercraft
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.
Touch Down
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
Zero-Energy Housing
In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.
Lift Off!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.
