Falling Feather
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners recreate Galileo's famous experiment, in which he dropped a heavy weight and a light weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show that both weights fall

Bernoulli Levitator
Source Institutions
Demonstrate the Bernoulli Principle using simple materials on a small or large scale.

Pendulum Snake
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

Falling Rhythm
Source Institutions
Listen to the beat of gravity. By taking two strings with weights tied to them at different, yet uniform intervals, you can hear the uniformity (and rhythm) of gravity's accelerating pull.

Marshmallow Puff Tube
Source Institutions
In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

Bottle Blast Off
Source Institutions
With little more than a plastic bottle, some vinyl tubing, and a length of PVC pipe, make a rocket and a rocket launcher and investigate how rockets fly.

Downhill Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how two cylinders that look the same may roll down a ramp at different rates.
