Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

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.

This activity helps students learn how computers "compress" text by identifying repeating patterns of letters, words, and phrases.

In this geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

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

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
