In this activity, learners work with an adult to build a rocket and launcher out of a plastic 2-liter bottle, flexible plastic hose, plastic tubing, toilet paper tube, and duct tape.

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

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 a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

In this activity, learners explore motion, energy, and electricity by constructing bottle cars that run on motors.

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

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