In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

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 activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.
