In this physics activity, learners conduct two experiments to explore free-falling.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this demonstration, learners investigate mass, gravity, and acceleration by dropping a wooden bar with a balloon attached to its underside, a mass suspended from it by rubber bands, and a sharp-poi

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

In this activity, learners design and build their own parachute using household materials with the goal of landing their passenger safely on a target.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
