In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

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.

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

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

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.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
