Stomp Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.
Puff Mobile
Source Institutions
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.
Film Canister Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct and launch rockets using simple materials and their understanding of chemical reactions.
Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.
Spool Racer
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.
Build a Raft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.
Ramps 2: Ramp Builder
Source Institutions
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.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.
Breaking Up with Combustion
Source Institutions
This activity teaches combustion as the interaction of a fuel source and oxygen.
Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
Family Flyers
Source Institutions
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.
Rubber Band Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.
Parachuting Pinwheel
Source Institutions
Build a pinwheel that works without wind! This activity contains steps on how to build a parachuting pinwheel out of paper, a film canister, and some brads.
Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
Prepare for a Construction Zone Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
