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

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

Perform this classic inertia demonstration to illustrate the transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Build your own version of the classic physics toy using simple materials.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

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

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 explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

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