If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

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

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

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
