In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

In this activity, learners will make a model rocket to test the phrase "what goes up must come down." Learners will power their rockets with air pressure, and soon discover the effects of air resistan

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

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

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

Learners cut and fold a paper helicopter from the template in this PDF. They practice twirling the helicopter and observe what happens as they modify their tries.

In this activity, learners create and experiment with wind tubes. These tubes are a playful and inventive way to explore the effect that moving air has on objects.

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.
