In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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

In this activity related to flight, learners conduct two simple tests to explore how lift works.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.
