In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.

In this demonstration, learners watch as a device drops a ball into a cup without touching the ball or cup, even though the ball and cup are virtually side-by-side.

Learners build a can that automatically returns after being rolled away. The can has a rubber band inside that stores energy as the can rolls one direction.

In this physics activity, challenge learners to make and race a balloon-powered car. Learners construct the body out of a paper cup, wheels out of wooden spools. and fuel tank out of a balloon.

In this activity, challenge learners to make a pencil stand on its tip using only two pieces of wire and two clothespins. Use this activity to demonstrate the center of gravity.

In this activity, learners explore inertia as they attempt to whip a strip of paper out from under two coins dangling on the rim of a water glass.

In this activity, learners create a toy that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics or the Law of Conservation of Energy.

In this activity, learners construct a paper glider to experiment with aerodynamic forces.

"Exploring the Universe: Objects in Motion" encourages participants to explore the complex but predictable ways objects in the universe interact with each other.

In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.

In this activity related to flight, learners conduct two simple tests to explore how lift works.

Build a car that runs on air. Using household materials, experiment with the power of air to create thrust powerful enough to move a homemade car.

This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.
