In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

In this activity, learners make bridges using an oil-based modeling clay (plasticene). The instructions include discussion questions for both before and after bridge building.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.
