In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s
