Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

Breaking Up with Combustion
Source Institutions
This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

Make Pooter
Source Institutions
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.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

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