In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore peripheral vision. Learners collect data about their ability to see shapes, colors, or letters using their peripheral vision.

In this optics activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out why two eyes are better than one!

In this activity, learners investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.
