In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this design challenge activity, learners use a balloon and other simple materials to design an air-powered rocket that can hit a distant target.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Pet Handedness), learners will construct a simple spinning top out of a circle of construction paper, a film canister lid, and a bamboo skewer.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.
