In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

In this activity, learners make their own "tornado" using two soda bottles and water.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

In this activity, learners discover how hard their hearts work to pump blood.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

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

Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.
