This simple construction activity teaches the importance of architectural structure. Learners build and test designs for a paper "doghouse" strong enough to hold the weight of a jumbo dog biscuit.

In this activity, learners build a simple tabletop seesaw to test how different variables (the position of the fulcrum, distance, weight) affect its balance under increasing weight loads.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

Learn how to make and fly a paper helicopter! This simple activity includes a template (for the copter "blades") and instructions for folding, flying, and testing designs.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.
