In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

In this activity, reuse two-liter bottles to create bowling pins. Learners practice math skills and develop a concept of verifying answers, while bowling and keeping score.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity (15th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners use glue and cardboard to construct a maze they use with their eyes closed.

In this activity, learners design miniature cars. Learners can create a telephone car, soccer car, merry-go-round car, or any other theme car they can imagine.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.

In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a seesaw powered by magnets.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.
