If a sailboat is stranded because there is no wind, is it possible to set up a fan on deck and blow wind into the sail to make the boat move?

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how brakes can stop or slow mechanical motion.

In this challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

In this activity, learners build a miniature wind tunnel to measure force. Learners construct the model out of Lexan plastic, a fan, and a precise digital scale.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

In this activity, learners build a hovercraft using a paper plate, cup, and simple motor.
