In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

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.

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

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.
