In this activity, learners explore the parts of a circuit by modeling, as a group, a “human” circuit.

In this activity, learners experiment with gear motion to understand how gears work to change the amount of force, speed, or direction of motion in machines.

In this activity, learners discover that training a robot can be hard work! Learners investigate how robots complete a task by following a list of sequential instructions.

In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.

In this activity, learners create a map showing the origins of spices and herbs from a favorite recipe(s). Learners first research the origins of the ingredients and then locate them on a world map.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.
