In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

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

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 activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

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.
