Learners set up books with rubber bands stretched between the books. When two identical books are stretched apart and released, they move back toward each other an equal distance.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey), learners will use a simple physics of motion and gravity demonstration to test their predicting skills.

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

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity related to flight, learners build a tiny stream channel to investigate how fluids (air and water) change speed as they flow between and around objects.

In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.
