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

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 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 activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as delivering safe drinking water.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.
