In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

Build a glider that uses the same physics as a curve ball, for less than a dime.

In this math activity (Page 14 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "basketball" and analyze the results of the game.

In this math activity (Page 10 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "football" and analyze the results of the game.

In this math activity (Page 12 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "soccer" and analyze the results of the game.

In this math activity (Page 17 of the Play Ball! PDF), learners play a game of "baseball" and analyze the results of the game.

Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this design challenge, learners will practice empathy and design thinking skills by creating a play space that is fun, both for themselves and other kids.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.
