In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.

Each group of learners uses everyday materials, such as paper, toothpicks, and tape to design and construct a structure intended to support the weight of a cinder block for 30 seconds.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.
