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.
   
Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
    
  This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different
   
Hoop Glider
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.
   
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.
   
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.
   
Float My Boat
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?
   
Eye Spy
Source Institutions
    
  This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.
   
Blimp Jet Challenge
Source Institutions
    
  In this design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.
