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 explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

In this activity, learners will explore the insect life cycle by making a model.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Build a glider that uses the same physics as a curve ball, for less than a dime.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

Create your own spinning top, and explore color, shapes and spinning. This activity contains instructions for making your spinning top, and tips on how to design and decorate it.

In this physics activity, learners use square blocks to explore how towers fall. Learners attach a piece of string to the side of a block and then construct a tall tower on top of this base block.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this activity, learners construct paper airplanes that twist and turn.
