In this physical activity, two lines of learners link hands and arms to model a beam subject to various loading schemes.

In this activity, learners explore how pneumatics and hydraulics could be used to produce movement in a robotic arm.

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 activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this activity, learners explore moving air and the physics of lift and drag by constructing homemade wind tunnels.

This fun video explains how to make a batch of oobleck (or slime) and why this special substance is known as a "non-Newtonian" fluid. Watch as Mr.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

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

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

Learners create beautiful fluid motion. They explore fluid dynamics, surface tension, solubility, and buoyancy while mixing liquids together.

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

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
