In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20th, 1969 the Idaho Naitonal Laboratory is looking for your team to use the Engineer Design Process to create a new rover.

Scientists study earthquakes so we can understand them better and hopefully one day predict them so we can save thousands of lives. A seismograph is a tool scientists use to recrod earthquakes and measure their strength. In this activity you will build your own seismograph using simple materials.

This activity, Soil Science, is geared towards 5-8 graders. You will build your own Winogradsky column using a plastic bottle.

Students will create their own solar ovens to bake s'mores on for a STEM project relating to the Idaho National Laboratory's solar project. This is a fun STEM activity for students to use the engineering design process and to give them an idea of what the Department of Energy's researchers do at Idaho's National Laboratory.

A lot of robots in Star Wars are "junk droids", robots made from salvaged and assorted parts. With a few simple electronic parts (e.g. a motor and AA batteries), kids can build their own junkbots using parts from the recycling or craft supplies bin.

Summertime often brings beautiful fireworkds displays. Whereas you normally look up into the sky to see fireowkr,s in this activity we will take the burst of color underwater -- with chemistry. Although it is not the same as real fireworks, you will be amazed by the color explosions you will see.

This activity, Water Filtration, is geared towards 1-8 graders. You will make your own water filter.

In this activity students will create an experimental water wheel (precursor to the turbines used today in hydroelectric power plants) from a plastic water bottle. Using the water wheel created, students will watch both kinetic and potential energy at work and see how weight affects the rotational rate of the waterwheel.

This activity, Wind Anemometer, is geared towards K-6 graders. You will invent an anemometer to record wind speed at your home.

Have you ever had an X-ray done on your body? Try making an "x-ray" drawing of your hand witha few materials from home. X-rays are powerful waves of energy and similar to light and are a form of radiation. X-rays are beneficial because they can go through substances that light cannot, so they can show images or pictures of the insides of an object, such as the human body.
