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

Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

Hand Spin Helicopter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

Bottle Cars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

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

Glider
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

Speedboat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

Handheld Water Bottle Rocket & Launcher
Source Institutions
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.

Raceways
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.

Water Rocket Launch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

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

High Rise
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

Digger
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

Cable Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.

Rubber Band Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.
