In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

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 the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

In this activity, learners explore the history of making objects from glass and artistry of Dale Chihuly.

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, learners are challenged to design and construct a trophy for prize-winning sports equipment.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.
