In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore the relative efficiency of different bulbs, specifically incandescent vs. fluorescent.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this activity, learners develop their understanding of combinations as they create as many different kinds of tostadas as possible.

In this math activity, learners play a probability game and try to be the first to get to the end of the game board path .This activity guide contains a material list, black line masters for the game

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners explore alternative uses of a simple paper cup, dubbed a "mystery item." Learners act as detectives and explore the properties and functions of th

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

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

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.
