In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

The "Rocket Reactions" activity is an exciting way to learn about how materials interact, behave, and change.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create pictures in thin air.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

In this simple activity, learners see the production of a gas, which visibly fills up a balloon placed over the neck of a bottle.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can participate to learn about conservation of gas. This is one of the classic experiments using baking soda and vinegar.

In this investigation, learners explore the force known as buoyancy by placing various objects into water and observing how they behave (for example, which sink more quickly, which float, how much wat

Learners explore the Bernoulli effect by building an airfoil (airplane wing) and making it fly.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

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

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.
