In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls.

In this activity, learners explore the relative efficiency of different bulbs, specifically incandescent vs. fluorescent.

In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

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.

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

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

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.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

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 activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

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.
