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

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

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

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners use simple materials to construct a balloon-powered pinwheel. The pinwheel is a great way to investigate Newton's Third Law of Motion.

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

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

This lesson guide includes six simple and quick activities to help learners better understand Bernoulli's Principle.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.
