This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

Play with your food while learning about engineering! Build a spaghetti bridge, then test its strength by piling on the marshmallows, raw spaghetti, raw linguine and coins.

In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

Learners work with plastic sheeting, masking tape, and string to design the perfect material for plastic chair webbing, and then construct their webbing.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
