In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

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

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
