In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

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

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

In this activity, learners explore the design of tall structures such as skyscrapers and telecommunication towers.

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 engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

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.

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

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 four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

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