Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.
Hot Air Balloon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a hot air balloon using just a few sheets of tissue paper and a hair dryer.
Paddle Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.
Puff Mobile
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.
Spool Racer
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.
Cable Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.
Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
