In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.
