In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

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 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 activity, learners apply Ohm’s Law to construct voltage divider circuits. Learners discover how to read resistor codes and calculate resistor values.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of valve operation and how engineers have adapted valves for use in mechanical heart valve design.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

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

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

In this activity (posted on April 18, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures, using a 16" bik

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.
