Learners make their own paper using old newspaper. Learners can make their paper colorful by adding construction paper.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

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.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

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

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

Engineer and cartoonist Rube Goldberg is famous for his crazy machines that accomplish everyday tasks in overly complicated ways.

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 discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

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

In this activity, learners build a simple qualitative conductivity tester with a battery, bulb and foil.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
