In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity), learners will discover how the shape of an object, not just its weight, determines whether it floats or sinks.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

This lab activity has learners create a pendulum with a one-second period.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners discover how solar energy can be used to heat water.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
