In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

In this activity, learners will engineer a water irrigation system. Learners will create a ditch irrigation system -- or an acequia-- to move water with the help of gravity.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners create a working model of a nail clipper. This activity helps learners learn the basic principles of simple machines, engineering design and model building.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
