In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

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 design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

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

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 work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.
