Rocket Launchers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

Cupcake Delivery
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners will create wind-powered contraptions to transport a load, such as a cupcake or another small object, and test to see if they work.

Building Bridges
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process and the basic mechanics behind building bridges as they build one themselves using gumdrops and toothpicks.

Stomp Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

Air Cannon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create air cannons out of everyday materials. Learners use their air cannons to investigate air as a force and air pressure.

Floating Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

Pulleys
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners experiment with pulleys and find that they can decrease the effort needed when using a pulley to lift or move different loads.

Finger Basketball
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.
