Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build helicopters and launchers using wooden dowels and scrap paper. Use this activity to explore rotational motion and kinetic and potential energy.
Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.
What is Energy?
Source Institutions
In this exploratory activity, learners experiment, observe and determine how various toys change from one form of energy to another.
Ramp it Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.
A Simple Escapement Mechanism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a simple mechanism that regulates the "escape" of energy released by a falling weight by portioning it into discrete amounts.
