In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

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.

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

In this demonstration, learners can observe a number of small convection cells generated from a mixture of aluminum powder and silicon oil on a hot plate.

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 sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.
