Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this activity, learners use a pencil, magnets, and mat board to illustrate Newton's Second Law.
