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 are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

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

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).

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

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 activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

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 examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.
