Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

Kinetic Sculpture
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

Zip Line
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

Marble Ride
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

Tower of Coins
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to remove the bottom coin of a stack of nickels without knocking over the stack. Use this activity to demonstrate friction.

Puff Mobile
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

Screaming String Thing
Source Institutions
In this simple and fun activity, learners discover the relationship between vibration and sound by making a squeaky toy instrument out of simple household materials.

Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
