Physics Tug of War
Learners set up books with rubber bands stretched between the books. When two identical books are stretched apart and released, they move back toward each other an equal distance.
How Far?
To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.
Action-Reaction Rocket!
Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.
How Do Things Fall?
Learners engage in close observation of falling objects. They determine it is the amount of air resistance, not the weight of an object, which determines how quickly an object falls.
Water Motor
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.
