In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

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 engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

In this activity, learners work in NASA teams to build balloon-powered rockets using identical parts and compete to launch the greatest number of paper clips to "space" (the ceiling).

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity, learners grow germs collected from their hands and other objects. They cultivate the germs on a growth medium (such as slices of grapefruit or processed cheese) for a week.

In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.
