In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners design wind-powered cars out of simple household materials. Students have fun designing and then racing their vehicles around the room.

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

In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.
