In this design challenge, leaners attempt to build a strong structure out of LEGO® bricks that can withstand a 4-foot drop.

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.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this activity learners will build roller coasters and test them using small balls or marbles.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.
