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

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

Working in small teams, learners try to build a satellite that can float for at least five seconds in the marked area of a vertical wind tube.

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.

In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

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

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

Investigate how force and thrust work to propel rockets into outer space. Build a rocket: a blown-up balloon taped to a drinking straw threaded through some string.

In this activity, learners will build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
