In this activity, learners will engineer their own weather vane. This activity includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and a "What's Happening?" section explaining how the activity worked.

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 use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

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