In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

A simple, yet fun activity that lets learners find the center of balance of a ruler (or any long thin object). Developed by the Exploratorium and no assembly needed.
