In this lesson, students build a paper helicopter, then improve the design and compare and measure performance.

Students use satellite data to help determine the greatest renewable energy potentials in any given region and develop graphing skills.

Students modify a paper cup so it can zip down a line and drop a marble onto a target

Students build a rubber-band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

Students learn about cloud types to be able to predict inclement weather. They will then identify areas in the school affected by severe weather and develop a solution to ease the impacts of rain, wind, heat or sun.

In this simple engineering design lesson, students turn a piece of paper into an aircraft wing and then try to improve upon their design.

Students design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two "astronauts" when they land.

Students study rocket stability as they design, construct and launch paper rockets using soda straws.

Students build a spectrometer using basic materials as a model for how NASA uses spectroscopy to determine the nature of elements found on Earth and other planets.
