This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

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 use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

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 experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
