In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

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

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

Walk a toy to the edge of its doom, maybe it'll fall off the edge of a table, but it will safely stop right before falling.
