In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

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 design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.
