In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

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

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

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 activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
