In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

In this activity, learners will design a protective package for an egg that will allow the egg to withstand a fall without cracking.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

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

In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

In this demonstration, learners watch as a device drops a ball into a cup without touching the ball or cup, even though the ball and cup are virtually side-by-side.

In this activity, learners explore how pens have been engineered and re-engineered over time. Learners work as a team to develop a working pen out of everyday items.

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.

In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore watercraft engineering and sailing.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.
