In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

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 on page 5 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners use chromatography to separate and identify pigments within various leaves.

This activity shows you how to make amazing crystal spikes using Epsom salt and the sun.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this hands-on art and science activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners brainstorm and discuss how humans use wetlands, then express their understanding of the subject in artwork.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.
