In this engineering activity, challenge learners to design a car using only 3 straws, 4 Lifesavers™, 1 piece of paper, 2 paper clips, tape, and scissors.

In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this physics activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of static electricity.

Walk a toy to the edge of its doom, maybe it'll fall off the edge of a table, but it will safely stop right before falling.

In this activity, learners construct cars that are powered by hand-made, electric propellers.

In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a race-car out of a coffee can and rubber band. Demonstrate motion, forces, kinetic and potential energy and friction.

Experiment with friction and make bearings for a whirligig! This activity is a nice introduction to friction and bearings and demonstrates why bearings are useful for spinning.
