In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

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

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

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.
