In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners will learn how to knit using only their hands. Learners will explore patterns and fabrication as well as develop fine motor skills and patience through this activity.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).
