In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

In this activity on page 5 of the PDF, learners mimic the process for making bricks. Learners shape and bake creations from a dough that is made from flour, salt, and water.
