Maritime Munchies
Source Institutions
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.

Recycling Rules: Understanding Recycling and a MRF
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.

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

Cardboard Box Camera Obscura
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

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

Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

Off Base
Source Institutions
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.

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

The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

Build Your Own Hydroelectric Generator
Source Institutions
Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

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

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

Sticky Engineering Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

Wind Tunnel Testing
Source Institutions
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.

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

Clipper Creations
Source Institutions
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.

Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
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

A Better Fly Trap
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?
