In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

In this math lesson, learners explore variables and their uses.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

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 activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use the numbers one through six to solve a puzzle.

In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.
