I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
Rubber Band Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.
Can Car
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.
Balloon Rocket
Source Institutions
Experiment with force and pressure by building a balloon rocket. When launched, the balloon will run a track wherever you place the string.
Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.
Build a Roller Coaster
Source Institutions
Learners design and build a roller coaster using simple materials. Learners experiment with potential and kinetic energy to get a marble to follow a track into a cup.
Prepare for a Construction Zone Field Trip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore work, forces, simple machines, and construction. This lesson guide includes simple ways to demonstrate these principles as well as hands-on activities.
Statue Display Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design, build, test and redesign a display tower that will meet a specific set of criteria and constraints.
No-Slip Grip
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore friction. Learners investigate the factors that affect the force required to move an object.
