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 will use magnets and household items to create a structure that allows paperclips to appear like they are floating.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners observe as two parallel, current-carrying wires exert forces on each other.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

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 design challenge activity, learners add a jet-propulsion system (i.e. a balloon) to a blimp so it flies straight and far under its own power.
