In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Learners observe and conduct experiments demonstrating the different properties of hot and cold materials.

In this physics activity, learners will build their own parachutes out of tissue paper. They will explore the effects of weight, height, and design on the parachutes' speed and stability.

Learners observe a flask with a balloon attached over the mouth and inverted inside the flask.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

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