Roving on the Moon
Add to list DetailsIn this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.
Paddle Power
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners build a boat that paddles itself using a rubber band as its power source.
Hidden Alarm
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.
Paper Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.
Electric Gamebox Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.
On Target
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.
Egg Bungee Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.
Kinetic Sculpture
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.
Dance Pad Mania
Source Institutions
Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.
Zip Line
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).
Marble Ride
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.
Sky Diver
Source Institutions
Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.
Boats Afloat
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.
Design a Flavor: Experiment to Make Your Own Ice Cream Flavor!
Source Institutions
In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.
Go Fly a Kite
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.
Sky Glider Challenge
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.
Keep-a-Cube
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to keep an ice cube from completely melting in 30 minutes. Learners engineer a box or wrap to prevent an ice cube from melting.
Mechanical Grabber
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to make a "grabber" that can pick up trash. Learners use simple materials to create pinchers that can grab small items.
Hang Time
Source Institutions
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.
Build a Band
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.
