In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this demonstration, learners watch as a device drops a ball into a cup without touching the ball or cup, even though the ball and cup are virtually side-by-side.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

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 physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

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 teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
