In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

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

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

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

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

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 construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

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.
