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

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

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

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

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

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.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

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

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

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

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.
