In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners explore the concepts of equilibrium and center of mass by seeing how non-symmetrical objects balance.

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

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this activity, learners explore Boyle's Law and discover that water will boil at room temperature if its pressure is lowered.

In this activity, learners explore motion and airflow by setting two aluminum cans on their side and blowing air in-between them.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

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.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will build a class 1 lever and hypothesize and test the distances two objects need to be placed from the fulcrum in order to balance.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

Learners complete two simple experiments to prove the existence of air and air pressure which surround us.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to lift a book with just air using a plastic bag and a straw. This activity demonstrates compressed air and forces.

In this activity, learners with explore the gases present in air. They will then build their own wind cannons and challenge family and friends to a friendly competition.

This is an activity about circular motion. Learners will explore the laws of motion and force by observing circular motion.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

In this activity, learners complete simple exercises to investigate the relationship between force, area and pressure and their effects on materials.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.
