In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

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.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

In this activity, learners use simple tools to build a bookshelf with a built-in bookend.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as delivering safe drinking water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
