Free-Fall Bottles & Tubes
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

Bernoulli Obstacle Course
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own obstacle course based on Bernoulli's Principle and try to get a floating ball from the start of their course to the finish line.

Marshmallow Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

Reducing Friction-Build a Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners learn about friction by making their own miniature hovercraft.

Mid-Air Maneuver: Skateboard Science
Source Institutions
To understand how skaters turn in midair, try this little experiment! Individuals can do this activity alone, but it works better with a partner.

Chain Reaction II
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners use an assortment of (mainly household) items to complete Rube Goldberg-type challenges.
Magnus Glider
Source Institutions
A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

Anti-Sound Spring
Source Institutions
What happens when two wave pulses meet in the middle? Send waves down a spring to watch them travel and interact.

Float Your Boat
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

Volume, Mass, and Density Boxes
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Paper Tape Motion Timer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).
