Rippin' Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in pairs to conduct a series of experiments using a balloon, drinking straw, and paper.
Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.
Puff Mobile
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.
Convection Demonstration
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.
Design a Submarine
Source Institutions
Learners act as engineers and design mini submarines that move in the water like real submarines.
Squeeze the Stream
Source Institutions
In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.
Newton's in the Driver's Seat
Source Institutions
In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.
