In this activity, learners build inexpensive pulley assemblies from pulley wheels used for sliding screen door replacement or from clothesline spreaders.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

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

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.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners make a simple spring-like scale using a rubber band instead of a spring, and calibrate the scale in newtons (N).

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