  Up, Up and Away with Bottles
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.
   
Weighty Questions
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.
   
Dancing Cereal
Source Institutions
    
  In this quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity), learners will observe how dry breakfast cereal appears to dance when it gets close to a balloon charged with static 
   
Exploring Forces: Gravity
Source Institutions
    
  In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.
   
Physics in the Toy Room: Toppling Towers
Source Institutions
    
  In this physics activity, learners use square blocks to explore how towers fall. Learners attach a piece of string to the side of a block and then construct a tall tower on top of this base block.
   
Parachute Parade
Source Institutions
    
  In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.
   
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
