In this activity, learners see how many coins they can add to a full glass of water before the water overflows.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this physics related activity which requires adult supervision, learners make their own powerful water rocket and, with it, explore Newton's Third Law of Motion.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

In this activity about afterimages, learners explore what happens when receptor cells called cones in your eye's retina get tired.
