In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

Learners explore the concepts of equilibrium and center of mass by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

The Drawing Board consists of a marking pen that remains stationary and a platform that swings beneath the pen, acting as a pendulum.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.
