In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

In this activity, learners will become an engineer by designing and engineering a miniature parachute.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

In this hands-on engineering project, kids use two simple machines, levers and inclined planes, to construct their own pinball machines.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.

In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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

In this activity, learners will use a variety of household and/or natural objects to design a sculpture that balances from a single point.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.
