In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners discover that two pendulums suspended from a common support will swing back and forth in intriguing patterns, if the support allows the motion of one pendulum to influence t

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.
