In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity, learners will explore the density of an object in water. Learners will compare what happens to fruits and vegetables in regular and salt water.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to break a raw egg just by squeezing it. Learners will be shocked by their inability to complete the deceivingly simple challenge.

In this demonstration about momentum, use physics to distinguish between a hard-boiled egg and a raw egg without cracking them open.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

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

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners explore how engineers characterize building materials.

This is an activity about friction as well as kinetic and potential energy.
