In this activity, learners will test the strength of different brands of paper towels.

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/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

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

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

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

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

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 build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
