In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

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 will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

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

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
