Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.
Blow-and-Go Parachute
Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.
Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.
Trebuchet Toss
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.
Leaning Tower of Pasta
Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.
Breaking Beams
Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.
