In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

Design a vessel that tests the limits of wind power given a set of off the shelf and recycled materials.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.
