In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this series of activities (page 5), students are introduced to the design process.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
