Hovercraft
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.
Robot Hands
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2) explores how sensing is part of robotics. Learners try tying their shoes with different constraints.
Make a Comeback Can
Source Institutions
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.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
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.
Pencil Balance
Source Institutions
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.
Potato Straw
Source Institutions
In this physics demonstration, learners are challenged to insert a straw the furthest into a potato.
Balloon Car
Source Institutions
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.
