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

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

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

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

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

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.
