Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.
The Right Fit
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.
Build a Super Structure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

Sugar Crystal Challenge
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

Exploring at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
