Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

In this activity, "space cadets" (learners) use writing and sequencing skills in addition to directional words/ordered pairs to guide Buzz Lightyear (from the movie "Toy Story") through a grid to reac

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

In this activity, learners create a tiny electric, motorized dancer. Learners use the interactions of magnetism and electric current to make a wire spin, while displaying the Lorentz Force in action.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners play a game from India similar to Tic-Tac-Toe. Players take turns placing coins on the game board and sliding the coins along the spaces.

In this activity, learners explore the many uses of periscopes and how this simple device was designed and is used in many applications.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.

In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this activity, learners use what they know about probability to figure out what is in a mystery bag. Learners analyze data to guess how many of each color crayons are in the bag.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.
