In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

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

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

Each group of learners uses everyday materials, such as paper, toothpicks, and tape to design and construct a structure intended to support the weight of a cinder block for 30 seconds.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
