In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

In this activity, learners discover that some things only stand up while they are spinning.

Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

In this activity, learners make mobiles to explore the concepts of balance, counterbalance, weight, and counterweight.

In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.
