Ancient Observatories: Timeless Knowledge Activities
Source Institutions
This lesson plan provides learners with two activities to explore the connections between events in their lives and the seasons of the year.

Static Friction Prediction
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

Out of Sight: Remote Vehicle Activity
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.
Multiple Reflections
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.

Airfoils
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.
