Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

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

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.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

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

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.

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

In this activity, learners build water-propelled engines from soft drink cans.

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 physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
