Masses & Springs
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners use a realistic mass and spring laboratory. They hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping.

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

Over the Hill
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

Downhill Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how two cylinders that look the same may roll down a ramp at different rates.

Raceways
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

Build a Roller Coaster
Source Institutions
Learners design and build a roller coaster using simple materials. Learners experiment with potential and kinetic energy to get a marble to follow a track into a cup.

Catapult
Source Institutions
Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.
