In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.

Build a catapult that transforms the potential energy of a twisted rubber band into kinetic energy. Experiment with design variations so that you can hit a target with a projectile.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this activity, learners explore gravity and air pressure as they experiment with holding a glass full of water upside down, without spilling it, using a simple piece of cardstock.

This is a great activity for investigating the basics of lift and drag as they pertain to flight. Learners will discover how to avoid "taking a nosedive" by building their own paper airplane.

This is an activity about circular motion. Learners will explore the laws of motion and force by observing circular motion.

Learners follow the template to build and fly a paper helicopter.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity), learners will see the effects of convection and understand what makes hot air balloons rise.

In this simple and fun activity, learners build a tower of cups to explore distribution of weight. Learners make predictions about their towers and test their designs.

In this physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will witness the effects of free fall by observing falling water, and will gain a better understanding of the concept of weightlessness.

During this activity, learners take part in a variety of tasks which involve moving and balancing different body parts.
