Engineered Sports
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.
Pedal Power
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.
Your Energy Needs
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.
Marble Run!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.
Robot Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.
Chair Lift Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.
Hockey Stick Power!
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.
Fun with Speedboats
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.
Echo Base Bobsleds
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.
Tug-of-War
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.
Make Your Own Mini Mini Golf Course
Source Institutions
Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!
Soccer Kicks
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.
Pop Fly
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!
