In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.

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.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

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

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.
