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

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

Working in small teams, learners try to build a satellite that can float for at least five seconds in the marked area of a vertical wind tube.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have developed big wheels or Ferris wheels.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

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

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

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 build a roller coaster for a marble to run on using everyday household materials such as paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cups, boxes, books, buckets, chairs, etc.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

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