In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

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

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

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

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

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.
