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.

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

In this quick activity, learners use a toaster to investigate the source for the Earth's wind. Learners hold a pinwheel above a toaster to discover that rising heat causes wind.

In this activity, learners will create their own lava lamps. Learners will explore density, effervescence and chemistry through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, young learners will learn about moon phases using materials found at home. This activity is adapted using play dough and cups to avoid food allergens and waste.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.
