Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

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 activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity learners will build a neighborhood out of blocks and cardboard.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.
