In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

In this physics activity, learners will build their own parachutes out of tissue paper. They will explore the effects of weight, height, and design on the parachutes' speed and stability.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.
