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

Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

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 geology activity learners build a "squeeze box," which allows them to compress layers of sediment. This is a great way to investigate folding and faulting in the Earth.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

Play with a slinky and make transverse waves. In this simple Exploratorium Science Snack, learners will experience making waves and will learn the different parts of a wave.

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

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.
