Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

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

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
