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

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
