In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

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

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into g-force and acceleration.

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

This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.
