Locating a Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to simulate the process used by Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to determine the location of a fallen meteorite in Antarctica.

Move That Lighthouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

Nosedive
Source Institutions
This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

Rescue Rover
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

Can You Canoe?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the manufacturing of canoes over time, including the development of new, durable, and lighter materials.

Dance Pad Mania
Source Institutions
Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

Zip Line
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).
Shady Snakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

Marble Ride
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

Observing the Moon
Source Institutions
Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.
The Right Fit
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

Exploring Measurement
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?
More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

Family Reunion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners combine counting, area and perimeter concepts as they prepare the seating arrangement for a family reunion dinner.

Science of Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

Factors and Multiples Puzzle
Source Institutions
This puzzle provides an interesting context which challenges learners to apply their knowledge of the properties of numbers.

Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

Cranking Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

Dispenser Designs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.

Temperature Tactics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.
