This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).

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

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners build a simple mechanism that regulates the "escape" of energy released by a falling weight by portioning it into discrete amounts.

Each group of learners uses everyday materials, such as paper, toothpicks, and tape to design and construct a structure intended to support the weight of a cinder block for 30 seconds.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

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

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

In this activity, learners design a bicycle helmet. Participants will explore the design of bicycle helmets to gain an appreciation for the role that helmet layers play protecting the head.
