What Goes Up...
Source Institutions
In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.

Make a Museum Collection at Home
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own museum collection using their favorite toys, drawings, or collection.

Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 2 of the PDF), learners will construct their own walkalong glider. They will explore how air, though invisible, surrounds and affects other objects.

Ramp Racers
Source Institutions
In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.

Paper Airplane Contest
Source Institutions
In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.

Sidewalk Chalk
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners witness an exothermic reaction, while making their very own, completely usable sidewalk chalk. This is also an excellent activity for exploring color mixing.

All About Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners with explore the gases present in air. They will then build their own wind cannons and challenge family and friends to a friendly competition.

Rollin’ Rollin' Rollin'
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

Bottle "Tops"
Source Institutions
In this physics activity about rotational inertia, learners use a spinning top made out of a bottle cap and a nail to explore how changing the axis of rotation affects how the energy is used.

Homemade Rube Goldberg Machine
Source Institutions
In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

Boomerang
Source Institutions
Everybody loves boomerangs! In this activity about force and motion, the learners will experiment with boomerangs and explore how they work. This is a great activity to get learners up and moving.

Marble Challenge
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will try to keep a marble in a bottomless cup without touching the marble inside.

Newton's in the Driver's Seat
Source Institutions
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.
