In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).
