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!

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

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 construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

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

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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.

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

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 are challenged to create a parachute using easily sourced materials in order to transport a LEGO figure safely to the ground.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

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
