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

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

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

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

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

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

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

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

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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 delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.
