In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

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

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

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.
