In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed sorting systems which integrate into manufacturing and packaging processes. Learners explore how coins are made.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this activity, learners explore how rescue devices are designed to aid professionals during emergency situations.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

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

In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

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

In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.

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

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
