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

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners observe colors in the flame of a burning candle to explore connections between matter, light, color and temperature -- basic concepts of matter and energy.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
