This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this activity, learners build a simple tabletop seesaw to test how different variables (the position of the fulcrum, distance, weight) affect its balance under increasing weight loads.

In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

In this activity, learners will discover how our universe is continuously expanding.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this activity, learners engineer a paper helicopter that spins to the ground when dropped.

In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.
