Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

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

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

In this activity, learners will explore what a constellation is and make their own.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

Learners discover that soap can be used to power a boat. Learners make a simple, flat boat model, put it in water, and then add a drop of detergent at the back of the boat.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit
