In this activity (on pages 12-15), learners make a crater model and test the effects of weather (rain) on its surface.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

Learners investigate a pre-constructed mystery tube to determine its interior mechanism.

In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.

In an investigation called "Shape It!" learners craft tiny boats out of clay, set them afloat on water and then add weight loads to them, in order to explore: how objects stay afloat in water; what th

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

This is a game that is sure to sharpen players' basic math skills. Players must use four randomly selected numbers to create an equation that equals a fifth number.

In this activity, learners will explore acid-base reactions and create their own bubbly results.

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.
