In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

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 story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

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

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

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.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
