This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore how similar magnetic poles repel one another. They will rely on linear induction to race magnets around a simple course.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.
