In this activity, learners explore the properties of paper by constructing and modifying paper airplanes.

In this fun and, at times, hilarious force and motion activity, learners will use household objects to build a crazy contraption and see how far they can get a tennis ball to move.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make a rubber band-powered spool racer. Demonstrate principles of motion as well as potential and kinetic energy.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that can travel at least four feet using rubber band power and use the design process to debug problems.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this dynamic activity, learners build a catapult that launches projectiles, such as marshmallows.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

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.

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

Learners design and build a roller coaster using simple materials. Learners experiment with potential and kinetic energy to get a marble to follow a track into a cup.

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.
