In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

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

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

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible
