In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

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

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
