In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

In this activity, learners will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this activity, learners use Jell-O to explore lenses. Learners cut Jell-O into convex and concave lens shapes and examine how light exits each lens in a darkened room.

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

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.
