Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.
