How Far?
To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.
Exploring How Robots Move
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.
Action-Reaction Rocket!
Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.
Doughy Physics
Source Institutions
Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.
Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.
Leaning Tower of Pasta
Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.
Skateboard Disaster
Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.
Fun with Bernoulli
Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.
