Did you know that a Slinky makes a handy model of earthquake waves?

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

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.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.
