In this activity, learners create a "Jam Jar Jet" based on Francois Reynst's discovery of a pulsejet engine, which uses one opening for both air intake and exhaust.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners make a small batch of biodiesel that will work in any diesel engine. Learners use an old juice bottle as a "reactor" vessel to chemically process vegetable oil into fuel.
