Marshmallow Shapes (1-3)
Overview: Use tiny marshmallows and toothpicks to create common 3-dimensional shapes.
Paper Egg Drop (1-3) (4-8)
Using only construction paper and tape, create a shape that will be able to protect a raw egg (in a ziplock bag) from a drop of 20 feet. Review the design cycle to optimize your design and create a second iteration.
Ceramic Engineering (6-8)
Ceramic engineering is the science and technology of creating objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials.
Overview: Teach 10 lessons provided by the American Ceramic Society that include topics like piezoelectric materials, shape memory alloys, thermal shock and superconductivity. You can get materials and lessons through the website or borrow from St. Stephen.

Sierpinski's Triangle (1-4) (5-8)
Overview: Draw and analyze Sierpinski's Triangle to investigate fractals. Also watch video on the Mandelbrot Set. Where in God's creation are limited fractals? Create your own fractal.
Resource: Fractal Lesson
High school extension: Mandelbrot Set is created using complex numbers. Study how that fractal was derived. Video Explanation

Paper Roller Coasters (5-8)
Overview: Use card stock and tape to create multiple pathways for a marble. Use the elements to increase or decrease the speed to make it through the loops and keep it on the track.
