In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

The goal of this Star Wars activity is to design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial Forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
