In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

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

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

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 engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

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 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 activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

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

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.
