Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.

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

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

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

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

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.
