In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this invention challenge activity, learners create an indoor game for one or two people that gets you moving.

In this invention challenge activity, learners see how many objects they can grab with a homemade "bionic" arm.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.
