No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

Conduction Countdown
Source Institutions
In this quick SciGirls activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design), learners will be introduced to the concept of thermal conductivity.

Geothermal Power Plant Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a power plant that uses steam. Learners use simple materials like foil, a tin can, and a pot of water to model a geothermal power plant.

Paper Maker
Source Institutions
Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

Dripping Wet or Dry as a Bone?
Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.
