In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.
