Geometry Construction: Polyhedral Playthings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.
Airboat
Source Institutions
In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.
Digger
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.
Hydraulic Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.
Rocking Changes
Source Institutions
In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.
