In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

On the first night, I saw 5 stars in the desert. On the second night, I saw 10… What do you think I saw on the third night? Combine arts and crafts, literacy, and math by making a counting book.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity, learners will repurpose an old t-shirt to create their own yarn or string.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

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

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 (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
