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

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

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

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

Balloon Hovercraft
Source Institutions
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.

Coupled Resonant Pendulums
Source Institutions
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

Take an Egg for a Spin
Source Institutions
This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.

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

Roving on the Moon
Add to list DetailsIn this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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