Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones.

In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

Learners build a pendulum from a yo-yo, and then design their own experiment to determine what affects the pendulum's period of swing.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this fun hands-on activity, learners create a safety device to protect an egg "passenger" in a toy car crash. Learners experiment with different solutions to this very problem.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

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

In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
