In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

Make a rattle-like musical instrument! Shake it, hit it, spin it any way you want to!

In this activity, learners build a sled kite that models a type of airfoil called a parawing.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity, learners discover how hard their hearts work to pump blood.

Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In this activity, learners of all ages will roll a ball coated with paint to artistically visualize the motion of the object.

In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.
