In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

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.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

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

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

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).

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.
