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.

In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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.

In this activity, learners will explore the dynamics of air pressure by using a candle, a cup, and a dish of water.

In this activity, learners will create their very own constellation.

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

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

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

In this activity, learners will put together towers using building bricks, then take the tower apart and challenge themselves to use the same bricks used to build a bridge.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

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

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

In this activity, learners will explore what a constellation is and make their own.

In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

In this activity, learners will engineer their own weather vane. This activity includes step-by-step instructions with pictures and a "What's Happening?" section explaining how the activity worked.
