Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

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

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.
