This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners follow simple historical maritime recipes to cook up hardtack and swanky, and then compare the foods they eat to what was served on ships in the past.

In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.

Learners create an electrical-circuit maze out of wire, then try to pass a paperclip through the maze without touching the wire.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
