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

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

Learners work in groups to design and build a tower out of balsa wood. As a motivator, they can compete to build a tower with the highest strength-to-weight ratio.

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.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have improved roofing designs and materials in order to protect the contents of buildings.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
