In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

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

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

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.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.
