This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

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.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

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

In this activity, learners will make a marionette puppet and put on a show. Learners will explore color, design, fabrication and storytelling through this activity.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore what it means to work together as a team.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

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