This is an online game about the complexities of farming. Learners will "draw" cards and make decisions about how to take care of their farm.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners explore computer programming and the impact of computers on society. Learners build and test a program to turn a light on and off using an Arduino board.

In this full inquiry activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), groups of learners will make predictions about which feature of a pendulum (mass, length,

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

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

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
