Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

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

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

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

If you have lights, cardboard, scissors, and some brass fasteners, you can make shadow puppets! Create a story-telling and design challenge for your learners with this simple and creative activity.

In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.
