In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.
