In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

In this activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

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