In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

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

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.
