In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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

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.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
