Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

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

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

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.

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

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.
