Learners explore the endless possibilities of cardboard engineering in this open-ended STEAM activity. Practice being creative by building structures with no glue, only cardboard and scissors.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering concepts to construct a blanket fort using materials sourced from home.

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a wind-powered car using only a handful of household materials.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

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