In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

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

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
