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 how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

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

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design tire treads to increase safety and reliability.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

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.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.
