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 activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.

In this physics activity (page 14 of the PDF), learners gain a better understanding of how friction and mass affect objects by comparing the rotational inertia of raw and hard-boiled eggs.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.
