In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this activity, learners will build a stomp-powered launcher to blast off paper rockets they design. Materials can be found at a local hardware store or you may already have them at home.

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

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners construct a small "air cannon," and use its airflow to put out a candle (lit with the help of an adult).

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.
