Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.
Pencil Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.
Become a Master of Inertia
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.
Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion
Source Institutions
"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.
Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.
