In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this fun and imaginative writing assignment (page nine of the pdf), students will flex the creative side of their brains to learn more about the laws of motion and the scientific process.

In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this activity, learners explore force and motion by constructing cardboard cars that are propelled by balloons.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

In this activity, learners string a line across the room and build cable cars that can move from on end to the other.
