In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a miniature tree house in a potted plant. This activity uses engineering concepts to encourage creativity.

In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

Molecular gastronomy is the scientific study of food preparation. Learners use self-assembly techniques to create edible capsules of chocolate syrup (food grade ingredients are required).

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

Learners use several types of insect sampling and collection equipment to make an insect collection. Learners can collect insects from their schoolyard or yard at home.

In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

Using indirect methods, learners determine the shape and size of a piece of carpet hidden under a piece of plywood.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.
