In this activity, learners build a game that tests their steadiness. Learners construct the game board by setting up an electrical circuit and a wand.

In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity, a spinning bicycle wheel resists efforts to tilt it and point the axle in a new direction.

In this chemistry activity, learners use guar gum to make slime. Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers, viscosity, and colloids.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

In this activity, learners build simple alarms that they can attach to anything, such as a drawer or doorway. This activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, and currents.

In this activity, learners build a bird that flies in place with help from a motor, wire, and some straws.

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

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity on page 8 of the PDF, learners make a slimy substance very similar to mucus, and sprinkle it with glitter to imitate the way that allergens are trapped.

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

In this inquiry-based learning activity, learners design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

This lesson focuses on molecular motion in gases. Learners compare the mass of a basketball when it is deflated and after it has been inflated.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.
