Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this fun hands-on activity learners explore a simple machine: the lever. What happens to a load when you multiply the length of a lever? Find out here!

From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.
