Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

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

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

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 engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

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.
