Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

In this activity (pages 13-14), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

In this activity, learners explore how musical instruments are engineered.

Learners conduct two activities to investigate two properties of liquids: density and viscosity. In a clear container, learners stack 7 different liquids which will layer according to their density.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this activity, learners design and build a simple wind vane —one of the oldest kinds of weather tools— and use it to show wind direction.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.
