Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different
Float My Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?
Paddle Power
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.
Rescue Mission
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.
Zip Line
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).
Sky Glider Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.
Watercraft
Source Institutions
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.
Rubber Band Car
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.
Motorized Car
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.
