Engineered Sports
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.
Playing with Parachutes
Source Institutions
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.
Convection Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.
Balloon Rockets
Source Institutions
This is an activity about rockets. Learners will explore how rockets leave Earth's orbit and what it takes to make a launch successful.
Echo Base Bobsleds
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.
Balloon Drive
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.
Pop Can "Hero Engine"
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.
Water Tower Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as delivering safe drinking water.
