Heavy Lifting: Design Squad
Source Institutions
In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

Get a Leg Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

Achieving Orbit
Source Institutions
In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

Make a Comet on a Stick
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners craft their own model of a comet on a stick to make it fly around the room.

Regolith Formation
Source Institutions
In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

Balloon Staging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.
