This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.
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
Build a Big Wheel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.
As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
Designing a Wall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
Move That Lighthouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
Apartment Buildings and More
Source Institutions

In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.
Popsicle Bridge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit
Building Tall
Source Institutions
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.
Make a Model of a Home Made From Shipping Containers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
