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.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

This math activity exposes early learners to a variety of three-dimensional objects. Learners bring geometric solids (everyday objects) from home.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

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

In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

In this activity, learners will explore pi and the mathematical relationships between a circle's diameter, circumference, and radius.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.
