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.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

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

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

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

In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

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).

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

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