In this activity, learners predict where a ball will go after it bounces off another object. Learners discover that the motion of objects is predictable based on laws of motion.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

In this playful, goopy activity, learners mix two liquids to create a solid (that sometimes acts like a liquid ), using basic household materials such as borax and glue.

In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.

In this Engineering Design Challenge activity, learners will use balloons to investigate how a multi-stage rocket, like that used in the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission, can propel a sat

In this activity, learners use simple materials and basic tools to construct a special toy to explore pendulums. As the head of the toy bobs one way, the eyeballs bob the other way.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners build a rubber band-powered rover that can scramble across the room.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

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 about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

In this activity, learners will create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.

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
