In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.
