In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

Build A Dome
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

Carbon Configurations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

How to Test The Strength of Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.
