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

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

See what force a magnet has on a wire that has current running through it: will it push it, pull it, or will nothing happen? This is the foundation of a simple electric motor.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

In this activity, learners take a turn contributing a closed figure made of six squares to a large grid; each must be different from all the others on the grid so far.

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, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this math lesson, learners use simple addition facts to compute values (in dollars and cents) for their names.

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

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity, learners combine counting, area and perimeter concepts as they prepare the seating arrangement for a family reunion dinner.

In this math activity, challenge learners to make two equal rows from eight different paper strips. Learners can explore the many ways they can solve this problem.

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.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to remove the bottom coin of a stack of nickels without knocking over the stack. Use this activity to demonstrate friction.

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b
