In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

In this activity, learners thread gumdrops together to make a model of a polymer.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

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