Egg Bungee Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.
Water Filter
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to invent a water filter that cleans dirty water.
ZOOM Glue
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mix milk, vinegar, baking soda, and water to create sticky glue. Use this activity to explain how engineers develop and evaluate new materials and products.
Breaking Up with Combustion
Source Institutions
This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.
Zoom-A-Rang
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build a Zoom-a-rang using everyday materials. Experiment with different materials and Zoom-a-rang designs to see how they fly.
Lego Man Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.
Paper Cup Stool
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.
Hail Storm House
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.
Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.
Zoomers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.
Lego Mania
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.
Make and Fly a Helicopter
Source Institutions
Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.
Cardboard Sculptures
Source Institutions
Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.
Marshmallow Models
Source Institutions
No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.
Mechanical Madness
Source Institutions
In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.
Which Parachute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.
Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
Hoop Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.
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.
Parachute Design
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.
