In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a

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

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this two-part lesson, learners discover how large bodies of water can serve as a heat source or sink at different times and how proximity to water moderates climate along the coast.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.
