Design a Lunar Rover!
Source Institutions
In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.
Do Cities Affect the Weather?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.
Magnetic Marble Run
Source Institutions
Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.
Ripening of Fruits and Vegetables
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.
Folding Matters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.
Flower Powder
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.
