In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

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

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
