Crank It Up
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.
Differing Densities: Fresh and Salt Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.
Geometry and Spatial Relations: It's a Perfect Fit
Source Institutions
In this three-part math activity, learners explore shapes. In part one, learners identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes.
Engineering Ups and Downs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering and principles behind working elevators.
Sail Car Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.
Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.
Skewers and Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.
