In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

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 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 different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.
