In this activity, explore chromatography and the various colors that make up the ink in markers. Use this activity to investigate cohesion and adhesion.

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a device to carry a Ping-Pong ball from the top of a zip line to the bottom in four seconds (or less!).

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

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 challenge, learners make a helium balloon hover in one spot and then move it through an obstacle course using air currents.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this design challenge activity follow up to "Kicking Machine", learners add a hands-free feature to their Kicking Machine.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this activity, learners make a foam packing peanut "flink"--neither float away nor sink--in water. Learners experiment with materials to make a Flinker that "flinks" for 10 seconds.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine that kicks a Ping-Pong ball into a cup lying on its side 12 inches away.
