In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

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

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

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

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
