Designing a Wall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

Ramps 2: Ramp Builder
Source Institutions
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.

Nature Journals
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
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.

Levers at Play
Source Institutions
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).

Pop! Rocket Launcher
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

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

Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
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
