In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

In this activity, learners construct hail-proof houses using recycled materials to discuss storm readiness and safety.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
