This fun and simple activity is a rubberband rocket design challenge! Learners will explore how tail fins can help to stabilize a flying object, while also exploring potential and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build the tools they need to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

In this activity, learners use a soda can to decode a secret message. Learners wrap scytale (pronounced ski-tally) code around a can and challenge friends to see if they can crack the codes.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this math activity, learners play a game that helps reinforce learners' understanding of the coordinate system.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind the conveyor belt and consider the impact this invention has had on transportation and the coordinated shipping and delivery of goods.

In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore the sensitivity of their sense of touch.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity, learners build bridges out of newspaper and tape to explore how structures are designed to bear loads.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity (7th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify mystery objects hidden in socks.

In this activity, learners find as many combinations of a hundred as they can using various puzzle pieces from a hundred square grid paper.

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