Space telescopes can offer us better, clearer views of the universe (and of our own planet) than Earth-based telescopes can, but getting these large, delicate pieces of equipment into orbit is tricky.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In "Exploring the Solar System: Stomp Rockets," participants learn about how some rockets carry science tools—not scientists—into space, and how a special kind of rocket called "sounding rockets" can

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

If you have lights, cardboard, scissors, and some brass fasteners, you can make shadow puppets! Create a story-telling and design challenge for your learners with this simple and creative activity.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.
