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 invention challenge activity, learners see how many objects they can grab with a homemade "bionic" arm.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

Use multiplication to help the aliens find out how much fuel they need to get their spacecrafts home.

In this activity on page 10 of the PDF, learners develop an experiment to answer the following question: "How much water can the hydrogel in a baby diaper hold?" Use this activity to explore polymers,

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it - like football with a twist!
