In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

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

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

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

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

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct and test fly drinking straw rockets. Learners explore how changing the rockets' fins affect flight distance.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this activity, learners explore what makes a boat float and sink. They examine and test various objects to determine why objects float or sink.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.
