In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

This is a quick, yet dramatic activity/demonstration that introduces learners to the concept of energy transfer. A small ball is placed on top of a large ball and both are dropped together.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

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

In this three-part activity, learners use paper to explore Bernoulli's Principle — fast-moving air has lower pressure than non-moving air.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

This activity provides instructions for making an aircraft that can really fly using a straw and paper hoops!

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.
